In which TextBox is the cursor.?

Question

I have 4 textboxes and a submit button in my web page. Suppose the user enters data in 2 fields and then clicks the submit button. I now want to know in which textbox the cursor was located just before the submit button was clicked.

Any idea on how to do this in Javascript?

Answer 1

You're looking for document.activeElement, which returns the currently focused element.
