Paul,
I added the following to watir.rb
# Return the element Id of the widget with focus
def get_Id_with_focus
p = nil
begin
current = document.activeElement
p = current.invoke("id")
rescue
#activeElement doesn't have an id
end
return p
end
This appears to be doing the trick. Thank you!
Next task is to integrate this into an assertFocus command that can be
invoked from faucets ....

Charley,
Thank you. I do appreciate the problem. Not all HTML Elements will
have ids so handles may be the ultimate answer. It would be a good
thing if AutoIt and watir behaved better on the playground.
