Way to tell which form element currently has focus?

Hello,

I was wondering if there is a way (through JavaScript) to find out which
of the form's elements currently has focus -- like returning an element name
or index number...

Thanks in advance,

Hello,

No idea, but I implement using my way:
1)set an onfocus handler to all your elements (using a for
loop/form.elements[])
2)that genericOnFocus() would update a global variable called
lastFocusElement
