Usage

Note: this module is dependent on jQuery.

This module will add a global listener for the focus event on all input, select, and textarea elements and then when a focus event occurs, it will disable all other input elements that are not inside the focused element's parent form element. It applies a class on the disabled elements so that they appear enabled in case they are visible within the viewport. A user can still tap on these disabled elements, just not tab to them as they are not a part of the same form.

// no module loader
window.touchInputNav();
 
// requirejs
define(['touch-input-nav'], function (touchInputNav) {
  touchInputNav();
});
 
// browserify
require('touch-input-nav')();

touchInputNav([className])

className

Type: string

A class to allow for custom styling of the disabled state. This can be used to override how the disabled state is presented for form input elements outside of the current form scope.

Current Browsers supported

• iOS Safari/Chrome

Note: all other browsers will have no input field disabling applied.
