Newbie Help with jQuery checking for focus

Question

I am new to jquery and am trying to fire a function on a keyPress if there are NO inputs selected. but I am having trouble with testing for focus. Below is what I currently have but it isn't working correctly. Any advice?

var inputHasFocus = false;
$('#myForm :input').each(is(":focus")){

    inputHasFocus = true;
};

if (inputHasFocus == false){

    $("*").keypress(function (e) {

     // the function
    }); 
}

Answer 1

var focusedInputs = $("#myForm input:focus");
if (focusedInputs != null && focusedInputs.length > 0) { inputHasFocus = true; }

Something like that.

Answer 2

I would try it as follows:

var inputHasFocus = false;

$('#myForm :input').focus(function() {
    inputHasFocus = true; // Set true if a Form-Field is selected
}).blur(function() {
    inputHasFocus = false; // Set false if a Form-Field has left
});

$("*").keypress(function() {
    if(!inputHasFocus) {
        // check if(inputHasFocus) after the keypress has done
        // otherwise you have the basic value in the var inputHasFocus 
        // here you can run your function...
    }
});

• .focus()
• .blur()
