That's not a problem of Cordova, it's a problem of your posted code. That's how you do it:
<html> <head> <title>Search Button Example</title> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="cordova.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"> // Wait for device API libraries to load // function onLoad() { document.addEventListener("deviceready", onDeviceReady, false); } // device APIs are available // function onDeviceReady() { // Register the event listener document.getElementsByTagName("input")[0].addEventListener("click", onSearchKeyDown, false); /*Alternative and better way is adding the id attribute to the input like I did (see the second input) and then use the following code line: document.getElementById("search").addEventListener("click", onSearchKeyDown, false); */ } // Handle the search button // function onSearchKeyDown() { console.log('ok'); } </script> </head> <body onload="onLoad()"> <input type="search" /> <input type="search" id="search" /> </body> </html> 2018-04-19 20:46 GMT+02:00 Jesse <purplecabb...@gmail.com>: > Hi Ranjan, > > This list is for development of the cordova framework itself, and not > really for user support. > > First steps, are maybe to try using an alert to make sure the button > handler code is called, and also try a console.log in some code that you > know is called and make sure it shows up.
