Question 52176 in Javascript Question posted in
A very good W3school tutorial can be found here.

How can I tell if a textbox input is currently selected? – Javascript

I just need a function to return true or false if a textbox is selected. I am pretty new to JavaScript so I don’t even know if this is possible. Also preferably in JavaScript > jQuery

I have tried onclick but it didn’t work. I have also tried many other options shown in other answers but nothing seems to work.

    As already mentioned use .addEventListener('focus', () => {}) it should work

    You can check if the input element matches the :focus pseudo-class.

    const input = document.querySelector('input');
setInterval(() => {
  console.log('focused?', input.matches(':focus'));
}, 1000);
    <input/>
