I want to avoid hiding keyboard when user even submit the form(like whatsapp or facebook).I use this code but it doesn't work.

$(document).on("click touchstart touchend",".mes-send-text",function(){
$(".mes-tbox").focus();
})
//.mes-send-text is button
//.mes-tbox is textarea

Have you tried wrapping the `.focus()` call inside a `setTimeout()`? I've noticed that I have to do that (with some non-zero delay) or the textbox doesn't actually get focused properly. – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Feb 02 '16 at 21:40
I also used `.blur()` it works but has bug – Fuad Pashayev Feb 02 '16 at 21:46
Have you *tried* `setTimeout()`? – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Feb 02 '16 at 21:48
How can I use it? can you give sample? – Fuad Pashayev Feb 02 '16 at 21:50
[How to use setTimeout()](http://www.w3schools.com/jsref/met_win_settimeout.asp). Replace `$(".mes-tbox").focus();` with `setTimeout(function(){$(".mes-tbox").focus();},100);` – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Feb 02 '16 at 21:51
Are you sure the function is being called at all? Insert a `console.log("some message")` statement. There are a number of things that could be going wrong and you have to learn how to debug. – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Feb 02 '16 at 21:58
I was sure.It works as a function,but doesn't do smth. – Fuad Pashayev Feb 02 '16 at 22:22
I need that emergency,please help me to figure out that – Fuad Pashayev Feb 03 '16 at 15:23
Oh I'm sorry, I was [unconscious and hallucinating](http://xkcd.com/203/). SO isn't here to give you immediate results and write your code for you. Try giving the textbox an ID rather than a straight class, you may also wish to create a [Fiddle](https://jsfiddle.net/) that other people can poke at to try and figure out why your code isn't doing what you expect. There's only so much I can do through comments. – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Feb 03 '16 at 15:54
https://jsfiddle.net/g7rfnnuL/1/ that's the sample.Can you check and write some codes – Fuad Pashayev Feb 03 '16 at 16:16
Your fiddle works for me. I click the button and the textbox remains highlighted. I even checked on my Android tablet (in Chrome) and the keyboard remained active. Even when I scrolled the page (keyboard hides) and clicked send the textbox was immediately highlighted and the keyboard returned. What browser are you using? – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Feb 03 '16 at 16:24
Unfortunately I do not have an Apple product available to test with. – Draco18s no longer trusts SE Feb 03 '16 at 16:27
