I am trying to grab a id="search-box" element and give it focus. I do get "I was able to grab it!" with the code below. Unfortunately, the search-box element in question does not get focus. To be clear, the search-box is on the initial (on-load) page. The search-box element is in template code. Is on-load too early for elements that are rendered…

gistfile1.dart

window.onLoad.listen((Event e){
    Element elem = query("#search-box");
    if(elem != null){
      print("I was able to grab it!");
      elem.focus();
    }else{
      print("I was not able to grab the element");
    }
  });
