Show mobile keyboard without input element

Question

I wanted to show the mobile keyboard in my responsive site. First at i tried to place a hidden input, with placeholder "tap here", but on this input i have an event, which when fires reloads the dom, and bucause of this a cannot able to show the keyboard.

The question is, there is a way to show the keyboard without an input? I'm using HTML5 doctype, and jQuery 2.

Thanks for the answers!

Answer 1

I'm afraid you can't open the keyboard without using a input. For more information you can read the following thread: Show virtual keyboard on mobile phones in javascript

Answer 2

If it is for a game, the best manner is create a propper layout with the buttons you want to use.
