Hi,
I'll be interested to see the answers to this question, I'm sure
there's a better way than the way I've done it previously.
I needed to do something along those lines, keep track of which text
box the user was in before they clicked a button. I ended up keeping
track of the most recent text box in the form to get focus. I wasn't
using Prototype, but in Prototype it would look something like this:
// At some appropriate scope
var lastFocussed;
// In an init function, such as when DOM ready, or when you've
rendered the form
$('myform').
select('input[type=text], input[type=password], textarea,
select').
invoke('observe', 'focus', function() {
lastFocussed = this;
});
That will track which text, password, textarea, or select box last had
focus. Note that it doesn't track radio buttons or checkboxes; you
may want to do that, just add to the list of things being tracked in
the selector.
HTH,
