Is there a 'has focus' in JavaScript (or jQuery)?

Question

Is there something I can do like this (perhap via a plugin)

if ( ! $(\'form#contact input]\').hasFocus()) {
  $(\'form#contact input:first]\').focus();
}

No, there isn't.

However, you can simulate it like this:

$(':input')
    .data('focused', false)
    .focus(function() { $.data(this, 'focused', true); })
    .blur(function() { $.data(this, 'focused', false); });
