Determining control that has focus in jscript

Bill999 · January 31st, 2007, 01:29 PM

Hello all,

I am programming a web app in Visual Studio 2005 (VB) which is using Dart's PowerWEB HTML Textbox.

I am trying to capture the Tab Key using onkeydown in jscript and if the HTML Textbox has the focus, I want to kill the tabkey.

My code looks like this:

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
function IEDownKeyCapture()
{
    if (window.event.keyCode == 9)
    { var ControlInFocusStr = ?????? <--- This is where I need help
       if (ControlInFocusStr == "HtmlBox1") {
          event.returnValue = false; // This kills the tab
       }
    }
}
</script>
</head>
<body
    onkeypress ="IEKeyCap()" >

<form id="frmApprovalForm" method="post" runat="server">
....
    <cc1:HtmlBox ID="HtmlBox1" runat="server"></cc1:HtmlBox><br />
.....
</form>
</body>
</html>

Can anyone tell me how I can get the name of the control that has focus when the Tab Key has been pressed?

Thanks for your help.
Bill

Sorry, I copied in the wrong code for <body>
It should be:
<body
onkeydown="IEDownKeyCapture()" >
