Thanks Mike, that answers one question. So a new :focus selector can be added like this: (for IE only so far. Boo!)
jQuery.extend(jQuery.expr[':'], { focus: "a==document.activeElement" }); // Example of usage: $("INPUT:focus") Does anyone have an answer to the second question: How to detect which element has the focus in browsers other than IE ?
