I'm trying to make a safari extension that does something if the cursor focus isn't in a text field. However the following code to detect if the focus isn't in a text field does not work.
if ($(document.activeElement).attr("type") != "text"
&& $(document.activeElement).attr("type") != "textarea") {
..do something
}
Just keep it simple:
var el = document.activeElement;
if (el && (el.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'input' && el.type == 'text' ||
el.tagName.toLowerCase() == 'textarea')) {
// focused element is a text input or textarea
}
