Check if focus is on div with contenteditable in Firefox
Check if focus is on div with contenteditable in Firefox
How can I check if a div is focused the same way that I can check if an input is focused in Firefox? See snippet.
$('.element').on('focus', function(e)
if( $('.element').is(':focus') ) console.log('Focused!');
);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div contenteditable="true" class="element">Click here</div>
<input type="text" class="element" value="Click here" />
Working for both, what is the problem?
– Just code

@HassanSadeghi In Firefox (62) on Mac only the input returns "Focused!"

You want v.62 or higher? answers below work on v.59. Add it to the question.

This seems to do it. Anyone has a better solution?
$('.element').on('focus', function(e)
if( $(document.activeElement).is('.element') ) console.log('Focused!');
);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div contenteditable="true" class="element">Click here</div>
<input type="text" class="element" value="Click here" />
Tested in firefox
$('.element').on('focus', function(e)
console.log('Focused!');
);
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<div contenteditable="true" class="element">Click here</div>
<input type="text" class="element" value="Click here" />
Yes, however what I didn't mention is that I want to run a JS timer that checks if the div has focus and that does not work with
$('.element').is(':focus') in Firefox. $(document.activeElement).is('.element') seems to work tho!– SeaBass

$('.element').is(':focus')
$(document.activeElement).is('.element')
@SeaBass in that case, don't use a timer, and just listen to
focusin and focusout to keep track of state– AnilRedshift

focusin
focusout
@SeaBass Perhaps you can include the higher level objective in your question, so we can help you. Right now the only objective is only to check if an input is focused in Firefox

@emineminems I'm doing a "poor-mans" push where I reload some content every x seconds, but only if an editable field is not in focus.
