Fable.React: select input text on focus












0















I'm trying to select the text of an input field using Fable.React.
In js it can be done like this, but trying the same in Fable doesn't compile:



input [                         
Type "text"
OnFocus(fun e -> e.target.select())
]


How can I select the text in an input field when it is focused using Fable.React ?

          The solution is to cast event.target first:



          OnFocus(fun e -> 
          let target = e.target :?> Browser.HTMLInputElement
          target.select()
          )
