Thanks for the response, here you go: To the point: I'm looking for a method to check if any form element on the page has focus.
I've created an interface that works like a desktop application. In my data grids are a bunch of <li>'s that allow for keyboard navigation via the 'keydown' event. If you hit down then it "clicks" the next <li>, or up it clicks the previous. The problem comes up when you've got an input or textarea element focused. When you arrow left, right, up, down in the textarea (or input) the keyboard navigation events fire on the <li> elements--I don't want them to fire when I'm typing in a form. I need a way to check if any form element has focus before firing the 'keydown' event. I could check them all individually but that's not a good solution since this is all inside a class.
