Java Script Virtual Keyboard

I'm not sure, but does anyone know if this can be applied to Silverjuke using a .js?

I feel I'm a bit over my head with this project.

You do know that Silverjuke has its own virtual configurable keyboards? Which are a lot more suitable for jukebox searchstring entry than any PC-style layout keyboard?

Apart from that: The comfort keyboard lite version works as-is, I don't understand why you need scripting for, to be honest the function of the java code in the post you pointed to is a mystery to me (the java itself is no problem, but what does it _do_?).

Basically, I am wanting the keyboard to popup when it notices a cursor. Example: A dialog box that asks for a user's email address or if the users wishes to request a song already in the system.

Comfortsoft's Keyboard doesn't recognize the dialog box to open the keyboard.

OK, understood. Theoretically you could do all of that in scripting, look at the search field in my BlueTouch V3 beta skin. But I'll be the first to admit it is totally overkill to solve your simple request, it means writing a dialog form from scratch in script, including trivial stuff like processing keys and redrawing the screen after each character.

Scripting in a dialog box probably won't help you here, the scripting engine does not actually do anything while the dialog is being handled. It might be possible to activate the comfort keyboard just before the dialog is activated, and close it again after the dialog has been closed. I'll think about that after the weekend.
