Custom HTML Block Search Inputs Lose Focus to Default Search Bar

Frappe Framework Customization
1

Hello Community!

I have a Custom HTML Block with two search inputs. I have an issue that typing in either of the search inputs causes the focus (cursor/pointer) to jump automatically to Frappe’s default search bar.

This issue does NOT happen when viewing the block on Form View of Custom HTML Block, i.e., “http://localhost/app/custom-html-block/Guest-Search”

However, it is persistent when the Custom HTML Block is added to any Workspace and viewed from there.

Here are my codes:

<div class="container" style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
    <div class="d-flex justify-content-between align-items-center" style="margin-bottom: 20px;">
        <h3 style="color:rgb(126, 72, 25); " class="main-title">Guest location</h3>
      
    </div>

<div class="row mb-5">
        <div class="col-md-6 mb-3">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search By Guest" id="guest-input" tabindex="-1">
        </div>
        <div class="col-md-6 mb-3">
            <input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Search By Event" id="event-input" tabindex="-1">
        </div>
        
    </div>

    <table class="table table-bordered my-table" id="table-data">
        <thead style="color:rgb(126, 72, 25); font-weight: bold;">
            <tr>
                <th>Guest</th>
                <th>Guest Name</th>
                <th>Invitation</th>
                <th>Event</th>
                <th>Date/Time</th>
                <th>Location Type</th>
                <th>Location Name</th>
            </tr>
        </thead>
        <tbody>
            <!-- Data will be dynamically inserted here using JavaScript -->
        </tbody>
    </table>
</div>

 root_element.querySelector('#guest-input').addEventListener('input', function() {
     updateTable();
 });

 root_element.querySelector('#event-input').addEventListener('input', function() {
     updateTable();
 });

function updateTable() {
    var guest = root_element.querySelector('#guest-input').value;
    var event = root_element.querySelector('#event-input').value;

    frappe.call({
        method: 'my.magic.logic.path',
        args: {
            
        },
        callback: function(r) {
            var data = r.message;
            var tbody = root_element.querySelector('#table-data tbody');
            tbody.innerHTML = ''; // Clear previous data
            if (data && data.length > 0) {
                data.forEach(function(item) {
                    var row = `<tr>
                        //my table
                    </tr>`;
                    tbody.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', row);
                });
            } else {
                var noDataHTML = `<tr><td colspan="7">No data available</td></tr>`;
                tbody.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeend', noDataHTML);
            }
        }
    });
}

// Initial load
updateTable();

Things I tried:

  1. Adding tabindex="-1" to the HTML.
  2. In JavaScript, replace the first two statements with:
root_element.querySelector('#guest-input').addEventListener('input', function(event) {
  event.stopPropagation();
  updateTable();
});

root_element.querySelector('#event-input').addEventListener('input', function(event) {
  event.stopPropagation();
  updateTable();
});

// Add these lines to prevent the default search behavior
root_element.querySelector('#guest-input').addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
  if (event.key === 'Enter') {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
});

root_element.querySelector('#event-input').addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
  if (event.key === 'Enter') {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
});

None helped. Still, whenever I type, it goes to the awesomebar.

Only copy and paste works though.

Any hints?

I know, I tried to add the search bar a few days ago for the below post but had no success, it’s redirects to the awesome bar.

It’s tricky to develop the search bar.

Thanks for the confirmation, knowing that you had the problem and tried for a few days stopped me from trying more :sweat_smile:

I solved my problem, here is my updated code if you needed:

root_element.querySelector('#guest-input').addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
  event.stopPropagation();
  if (event.key === 'Enter') {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
});

root_element.querySelector('#guest-input').addEventListener('input', function() {
  updateTable();
});

root_element.querySelector('#event-input').addEventListener('keydown', function(event) {
  event.stopPropagation();
  if (event.key === 'Enter') {
    event.preventDefault();
  }
});

root_element.querySelector('#event-input').addEventListener('input', function() {
  updateTable();
});

// Rest of my JavaScript code...
