Hi all,

How can I get the ID of an element that just lost the focus?

for exmaple:

There are serveral "text" elements in a form in the main page (parent), one of them has the focus before i click a link on the page to open a new window (child). how can know which text element that just lost the focus and get this ID in the child window?

Thanks

At the top of your page do this

<script type = "text/javascript">
    var last;
</script>

then, on each of your text boxes add this

onFocus="last=this"

Then, in your link, you can reference the last variable which will contain the last element that had focus.

Great! it works. Thank you!
