Cannot simply force focus on text input in stand-alone Google App using HtmlService?

Question

I want to script a click on an input box.

Here is an example where the focus() should do just that, but it doesn\'t! Why?

Code.gs:

function d

This is an intentional security decision in Caja. Certain functions that are prone (across the web) to serious malicious misuse, such as submit() and focus(), can only be executed while in the context of a user-initiated event (such as a button click).
