Focus on an object

[esdd24fr]

Hello,I found two methods about focus, focus() to set the focus and blur() to remove the focus, but i didn't find any method to know if an object has the focus or not.Is anybody tried to use a "hasFocus()" method in Javascript?If you have some idea, please help me.Tks, Emmanuel.

use this

var hasFocus = (object.focus());if(hasFocus){}else{}

if the object has focus, hasFocus will equal true, if not it will be false. It's just that simple.good luck!

Tks for you quick answer.But, if I use object.focus(), it will give the focus to my object, isn't it?So the if condition will always true, and my problem is still here...

hmm...your right.try thisJavaScript

var hasFocus = false;function setFocusState(focusState){     hasFocus = focusState;}

HTML

<object...onfocus="setFocusState(true)" onblur="setFocusState(false)" ...>

then you can check the state of hasFocus when you need to kow if the object has focus.
