is it possible to check if an element is focused?
i tryed:
<a href="#"></a>
$('a').is(':focused');
but it won't work.
Also i would like to understand if is possible to get the last focused document element attr class:
var last_focused_class = document.lastFocusedElement.class;
for example

Reset to default 14You were close, to test for focus:
$('a').is(':focus');
Not sure about how to get the last focused element, you may have to design a hack for it...something like:
var lastFocusedClass;
$(document).on('focus', '*', function() {
lastFocusedClass = $(this).attr("class");
});
In my case this works... $("*:focus")
You can get id,name,value etc.And check if this is the element you are looking for.
var checkValue = $("*:focus").attr("...");
