The focus()
method in JavaScript is used to give focus to a window or an element within a window. This method does not take any arguments, and simply focuses the window or element on which the focus()
method is called.
Here is an example of how the focus()
method works:
const myWindow = window.open('https://google.com', 'my-window', 'width=800, height=600');
myWindow.focus();
// this will give focus to the 'myWindow' window
In the code example above, we first use the window.open()
method to open a new window and navigate to the Google homepage. We store the new window in the myWindow
variable.
We then use the focus()
method to give focus to the myWindow
window. The focus()
method does not take any arguments, so we simply call the method on the myWindow
window without passing any arguments.
As a result of calling the focus()
method, the myWindow
window will be focused and brought to the front of the screen. If the myWindow
window was already focused, calling the focus()
method will have no effect.
The focus()
method can also be used to focus elements within a window, such as input fields and buttons. For example:
const myInput = document.getElementById('my-input');
myInput.focus();
// this will give focus to the 'myInput' element
In the code example above, we use the document.getElementById()
method to access the myInput
element in the document. We then use the focus()
method to give focus to the myInput
element.
As a result, the myInput
element will be focused and the user will be able to type into the input field. If the myInput
element was already focused, calling the focus()
method will have no effect.
