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

Here is a succinct way to do it.

$(document.activeElement)

or to plug it into your example..

if ($('form#contact input]')[0]!=$(document.activeElement)) { ... }
