Find Which asp.net Component has Focus

Question

Is there any way to find out which asp.net component has focus by using a server or client script?

Definitely not using a server script. It's very important to understand that your server code does not run on an "active" page. ASP.Net Server code only prepares html to send to the browser before the user sees it — even on a post back it's recreating the entire html page from scratch.

Client javascript is another story: you can handle the onfocus event for any element you care about.
