On a page I have an Iframe that contains input boxes, and if I select one of those boxes in FireFox and use document.activeElement
, I get the IFrame. Thats okay, I just use that IFrame and get its contentDocument, save it, then do activeElement again and now I get the input box.
However, in Chrome and Safari, when I select one of the boxes inside the IFrame and do document.activeElement
, I get the body element. If I select an element outside the IFrame, document.activeElement
works perfectly.
How can I get the active element in my case?
Not sure if this will work for you exactly but you can try a similar approach to this. Also, I believe you'll be bound to same domain restrictions with the approach below.
function showme() {
var currentDoc = document;
if (document.activeElement == document.body) {
currentDoc = window.frames['child-iframe'].document;
}
if (currentDoc.activeElement.type == "text"
|| currentDoc.activeElement.type == "textarea"
|| currentDoc.activeElement.type == "checkbox") {
currentDoc.activeElement.style.color = "red";
}
}
window.onload = function() {
setTimeout("showme()", 5000);
}
