Search box – Typing problem

Hi,

The issue is not directly related to Ajax Search Lite, but I can tell you why it happens.

It looks like the theme has this fancy search script, when clicking on the icon the search bar shows up. Whenever the icon is clicked it tries to find the input field and focus it. Ajax Search Lite however has two inputs there, one is for search and the other is the autocomplete field. Unfortunately that script focuses the autocomplete field.

The best way to get around it is by editing the theme search script to focus the correct element. You can also try a custom code:

add_action('wp_footer', 'asl_add_footer_script', 9999);
function asl_add_footer_script() {
	?>
	<script>
	jQuery(function($){
		$("#menu-item-search").on("click", function() { 
			setTimeout(function(){
				$('input.orig').get(0).focus();
			}, 300);
		});
	});
	</script>
	<?php
}

This will override the click behavior and focus the correct element.

Best,
Ernest M.
