javascript - Find if a textbox is currently selected

Question

How would I find if a textbox (or textarea) currently is in focus? I don't care to know which one it is, I just need to know if one is in focus (has the cursor in it). How would I do this with javascript and jquery?

Answer 1

Since you have found document.activeElement, you can check its nodeName.

if (document.activeElement.nodeName == 'TEXTAREA' || document.activeElement.nodeName == 'INPUT') {
    // ....
}

Something like that.
