What is wrong?

Question

function dpad(){
var a = document.createElement("input");
a.type = "number";
document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].appendChild(a);
a.click();
}
window.onload = dpad;

EDIT:
EVERYTHING WORKS BUT I NEED TO FORCE A CLICK TO THE INPUT

Answer 1

Check this:
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_html_click.asp

you need either:
a.setAttribute("onclick", "action()"); // set the attribute
or
a.addEventListener("click", action); // create an event listener

before simulating a click.

perhaps what u want to do is focus();
a.focus(); // It'll go to the input box ready for u to type the number
try focus instead of a.click(); and check the result.

I'm a newbie too, so pardon me if I can't explain correctly.

Answer 2

It shows a number input as I run the code. Actually, I don't get what you mean by "make a number dpad"; are you talking about dial pad? like phone number? in that case, I guess you need an input with "tel" as 'type' attribute.

The pad pops up when u use tablet smartphone, in PC no need cuz u have the keyboard.

Answer 4

Not sure what your intention is here, but dpad is a function and needs to be called as such. At the moment, you are simply assigning it to window.onload, but its not being invoked.

Abdurrahim That has nothing to do with it

Answer 16

PROGRAMMA No that part works i need to force the dpad to pop up.

Answer 17

Aaron Gillies i need to use the function name because if i use the () identifier it thinks i want it to run what dpad returns and therefor runs the code before the window loads.
