[thelist] Javascript: determining if a element has focus?

[Mark M]

Hey all,

Not sure if this is possible, but figured I would ask.

I've got my spiffy login form, and when the page loads, I want to point the focus at 
the username field.

However - I ***HATE*** it when a page loads slowly, and I'm halfway through typing in 
my password, and it shifts my focus back to the username... and suddenly I've typed 
half my password in the username field.

So I want to check if the focus is in either the username or password fields, and if 
it is, I won't set the focus to the username field.

All that being said - anyway I can check if a field has focus, short of using the 
onFocus and onBlur events to set some variables on the page?

(Not too fussed if IE only, as working on a intranet)

TIA

Mark
