Have a look at prototype etc for Observers if you want to use a JS framework, if not you can just roll your own, not too hard, basic field validation really.

Basically, I have a form field, and on blur of that field, I want to check and see where the user clicked. If they clicked the input I wanted them to, then fine, otherwise I want to give focus to the input I wanted them to click. Basically, it is a cheesy way of saying, if you fill out field 1, then I'm going to make you fill out field 2. The requirement is to not let field 2 lose focus, until it is populated. These are select dropdowns, so simply calling field2.focus() screws you up when the user clicks it because the drop down immediately collapses again after being clicked. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone which is why I was hoping to not have to explain it. Basically, I should be able to make this work if there is a way to test a field for focus or "ask" the document which field has focus WITHOUT having an onFocus event on EVERY element in the page. ~Brad -----Original Message----- From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, December 26, 2006 2:23 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: HTML focus You mean apart from onFocus?

Ex: If(document.getElementById('test1').focus == true) { ... } Also, does the document object have a method which will tell you the current focused element? Ex: var elem = Document.getFocusedElement(); alert(elem.id + ' has focus.'); Thanks. ~Brad ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
