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();
}
         


        

Answer 1

Frustratingly difficult to find a solution to this problem considering the solution is actually very simple:

if (document.activeElement == this) {
  // has focus
}

if (document.activeElement != this) {
  // does not have focus
}
