need .focus() method

[relipse]

I am trying to set focus right when the user opens a bug
currently I am using this code:

epicAddEditBug.editorIframeDocument.body.focus();

but I suppose it is better to add a .focus() method?

This is a good idea. I'll try to get it into the next release. Until then, does focusOnLoad: true not work for you in your case?

[relipse]

no it didn't work so i had to do a combination of both:

        open: function (ev, ui) {
          if (epicAddEditBug){
             //already loaded, go ahead and focus it
             epicAddEditBug.editorIframeDocument.body.focus();
          }else{
             epicAddEditBug = new EpicEditor(epicAddEditBugOpts);
          }
          epicAddEditBug.load();
           },

...your quick responses are very nice by the way, thank you

I'd have to try this, but triggering .edit() should make it focus:

https://github.com/OscarGodson/EpicEditor/blob/develop/src/editor.js#L1194

That should work. Let me know if it doesn't. If it doesn't I think it's this issue:

#134

Which is because IE wants to focus on the iframe and FF/Chrome wants to focus on the body.

OK, you can see commit 531a978 above. It's not in develop yet as I need to write tests and docs for it before, but this allowed me to fix another bug too so I'll just get it into this release.

Thank you very much, let me know when the release is up and ready (or is there a way i can get a notification?)

When I close this issue and/or comment you will get an email notification unless you've manually unwatched this thread. :)

This is now in develop. Let me know if it works well! You can now just call editor.focus() whenever you want.
