Hi all,

I can't seem to get this to work:

document.getElementById(document.activeElement.id)

I just get "null is not an object" errors.

But this works:

alert(document.activeElement.id)

I get the ID of the active element! Whats going on here?

Cheers for now

I can't see why you'd want to do that but are you sure that's the exact code, it seems to work for me?

I'm trying to cheat my way round using onFocus(). That is the code I'm using, but I just get that null message. Maybe its something in my script. Suppose I'll have a go with it standalone.

cheers anyhow

Ok, now I'm just getting [object]. How do I expose the objects properties? I'm trying to pass the activeElement's ID into an array. I have everything else worked out, but the activeElement method doesn't seem to bubble.

Can you show a small sample of what you're trying to accomplish?
