Datepicker component opens automatically - how can we avoid this in Salesforce?

Example :

<span id=”focusDistraction”></span>

<script type=”text/javascript”>

/* prevent autopup of the date inputfield by the default focus behavoir */

window.onload=function() {

document.getElementById(‘focusDistraction’).focus();

}

</script>

If you are using Lightning then you can use javascript in your lightning bundle in a js file. In init function of the component to remove the autofocus.
