How to detect which element is in focus

How can I find out which element has focus?
I know how to do it in IE, but I need something for Firefox.

Thanx

There's no specific procedure. So what you can do is create a variable say focusElement which contains the id of the element in focus.

For the required elements, set onfocus = "focusElement = this.id;" and onblur = "focusElement = null;"
