# Iframe keyboard input

 * So I have WordPress, and I was trying to do something fun for myself, I used 
   the internet archives dosbox to bring over some old games I use to play, I am
   starting very simple with and then once I get the core working, I want to add
   some overlay features, that’s not important though, the issue I am having is 
   if you click and start the game (which is inside an iframe) everything works,
   but if you click outside the iframe and go back, you lose keyboard input ability.
   
   so I took my iframe out, and just made a non WordPress page with it, it works
   fine, I can click in the iframe, and then out of it and still retain keyboard
   input, it just seems WordPress specific, if the Iframe is there, and is clicked
   off, keyboard input does not return. I can’t think of a reason why. Any ideas
   appreciated. It is going on a Page, not a post if that matters.
 * Thanks

 * I can replicate the issue outside of WordPress: [https://jsfiddle.net/wrm2j5qh/](https://jsfiddle.net/wrm2j5qh/)

 * I don’t think the game was intended to be used within a website that does other
   things. I think it was intended for full screen.
