Issue
I am trying to add text to input type email without success here is how I am trying to do it
$scope.lastFocused;
angular.element("input[type='text'], input[type='url'], input[type='email'], input[type='password'], input[type='search'], input[type='tel'], textarea").focus(function() {
$scope.lastFocused = document.activeElement;
});
$scope.insertText = function(text) {
var input = $scope.lastFocused;
console.log(input);
if (input == undefined) { return; }
var scrollPos = input.scrollTop;
var pos = input.selectionStart;
var front = (input.value).substring(0, pos);
var back = (input.value).substring(pos, input.value.length);
input.value = front+text+back;
pos = pos + text.length;
input.scrollTop = scrollPos;
console.log(angular.element(input).val());
angular.element(input).trigger('input');
};
I think the problem has to do with the fact that I am trying to trigger an input of type text and email does not support input.selectionStart;
. I get the error
Failed to read the 'selectionStart' property from 'HTMLInputElement': The input element's type ('email') does not support selection.
and for some reason email will not accept a value.
I am using chrome only. any workarounds would be apreciated
Solution
Here is a link to the answer of another post with the same exact type of question as you:

It looks like you are going to need to find another way because 'selectionStart' is not supported by an input of type email.
