Add event listener on element focus
I have a search box input that opens when an icon is clicked on. I would like to give the input focus when the icon is clicked and call the function addLabel() that adds a label as placeholder text until a “onkeydown” event is fired, at which time it should call the function removeLabel(). Currently, my script adds focus(), but doesn’t acknowledge the other event listeners. Any help would be appreciated!
window.onload = function() {
var el = document.getElementById('gsc-i-id1');
var label = document.createElement('label');
var labelText = document.createTextNode('Enter your search term...');
label.appendChild(labelText);
label.className += 'search-label-placeholder';
var searchParent = el.parentNode;
searchParent.insertBefore(label, el);
var searchIcon = document.getElementById('search-icon');
searchIcon.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
el.addEventListener('focus', addLabel );
el.addEventListener('keydown', removeLabel );
el.focus();
}, false );
function removeLabel() {
el.style.textIndent = '0';
el.setAttribute('placeholder', 'removeLabel');
el.style.background = 'none';
el.style.textIndent = '0';
label.style.display = 'none';
};
function addLabel() {
el.style.textIndent = '0';
el.setAttribute('placeholder', 'addLabel');
el.style.background = 'none';
el.style.textIndent = '0';
label.style.display = 'block';
};
};
