How do I find out which DOM element has the focus?

Question

I would like to find out, in JavaScript, which element currently has focus. I\'ve been looking through the DOM and haven\'t found what I need, yet. Is there a way to do this

Answer 1

If you want to get a object that is instance of Element, you must use document.activeElement, but if you want to get a object that is instance of Text, you must to use document.getSelection().focusNode.

I hope helps.
