Hello friends! 👋
I have noticed the auto focus feature of our Embed SDK is quite a popular topic both here and also on our Github 🚀
Many of you weren't keen on the way auto focus worked. If a typeform was embedded "below the fold" on a web page, it would automatically scroll down to the typeform. I have some good news for you - we've listened to you, and improved this feature. I believe it will make the process of embedding your typeforms even smoother and more straightforward.
💡 In short:
-
auto focus is now disabled for widgets (standard embeds) by default
-
no more page jumps for embeds “below the fold”
-
you can enable it again with data-tf-auto-focus / autoFocus: true, for example:
<div data-tf-widget="HLjqXS5W" data-tf-auto-focus></div> -
we are exposing
focus()method for all embeds so you can focus your typeform programmatically whenever you want (eg. via a button click) -
I have also prepared an example to give you an idea how to use the new
focus()method here: https://tf-widget-focus.glitch.me/ -
If your typeform embed code contains
data-tf-disable-auto-focusthere is no need to update anything - this option is redundant now, but it is not necessary to remove it and will not affect the functionality
