Semantic UI, remove autofoucs on dropdown

Question

I'm using semantic ui dropdown within a modal box, whenever the modal is being opened, the dropdown in it opens automatically.

function showmodal() {
  $('.ui.modal').modal('show');
}
if ($('.ui.dropdown').length) {
  $('.ui.dropdown').dropdown({
    useLabels: false,
    forceSelection: false,
    autoFocus: false
  });
}

<div class="ui modal">
  <i class="close icon"></i>
  <div class="header">
    Profile Picture
  </div>
  <div class="content">
    <form action="" class="ui form">
      <div class="field mandatory">
        <label>Gender</label>
        <select class="ui dropdown">
          <option value="">Gender</option>
          <option value="1">Male</option>
          <option value="0">Female</option>
        </select>
      </div>
    </form>
  </div>
  <div class="actions">
    <div class="ui black deny button">
      Nope
    </div>
    <div class="ui positive right labeled icon button">
      Yep, that's me
      <i class="checkmark icon"></i>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>


<button class="ui button" onclick="showmodal()">Click to Open Modal</button>

I have tried autoFocus: false, but it's not working.

Answer 1

You need to put the autoFocus: false before the modal('show') :

function showmodal() {
  $('.ui.modal').modal({
    autofocus: false,
  }).modal('show');
}
if ($('.ui.dropdown').length) {
  $('.ui.dropdown').dropdown({
    useLabels: false,
    forceSelection: false
  });
}

<div class="ui modal">
  <i class="close icon"></i>
  <div class="header">
    Profile Picture
  </div>
  <div class="content">
    <form action="" class="ui form">
      <div class="field mandatory">
        <label>Gender</label>
        <select class="ui dropdown">
          <option value="">Gender</option>
          <option value="1">Male</option>
          <option value="0">Female</option>
        </select>
      </div>
    </form>
  </div>
  <div class="actions">
    <div class="ui black deny button">
      Nope
    </div>
    <div class="ui positive right labeled icon button">
      Yep, that's me
      <i class="checkmark icon"></i>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>


<button class="ui button" onclick="showmodal()">Click to Open Modal</button>

Answer 2

The property you are looking for is showOnFocus: False

$(function(){
    $('.ui.button').click(function(){ showmodal() })
  function showmodal() {
    $('.ui.modal').modal('show');
  }
  if ($('.ui.dropdown').length) {
    $('.ui.dropdown').dropdown({
      showOnFocus: false
    });
  }
})
