The virtualKeyboardPolicy
property of the HTMLElement
interface gets and sets a string indicating the on-screen virtual keyboard behavior on devices such as tablets, mobile phones, or other devices where a hardware keyboard may not be available, if the element's content is editable (for example, it is an <input>
or <textarea>
element, or an element with the contenteditable
attribute set).
It reflects the value of the virtualkeyboardpolicy
HTML global attribute.
An enumerated value; possible values are:
"auto"
or an empty string (""
)
The browser automatically shows the virtual keyboard when the user taps or focuses the element.
"manual"
The browser does not automatically show the virtual keyboard: showing/hiding the virtual keyboard is handled manually by the script.
The following example shows how to control the on-screen virtual keyboard behavior via script:
const element = document.querySelector("input");
// the on-screen virtual keyboard behavior will be controlled by script manually
element.virtualKeyboardPolicy = "manual";
