Determinig what element has focus

[NZL]

Hi,

i'm trying to figure out how you determine what item is currently in focus. So for example if there are two input boxes like so:

<input type=text name=input1>


<input type=text name=input2>

And a user clicks on input1 then i can check focus with something like

if (current.focus = input1) then
alert 'current focus is input1'

Is this possible? I should make it clear that i DON'T want an event such as onClick or onFocus to do this, I just want to be able to tell what element currently has focus at any time.

Does this make sense?

Thanks heaps.

:)

You can make your own "hasFocus" parameter, but the only way you can make it update is by using the onFocus event handler.
