Is :focus return always false

Question

I creating a script, and I like to know if a scecific field is focused by using the following code:

console.log($('#element_title').is(':focus'));

The problem is that either the field is focus or not, I always get "false" as result. Am I doing something wrong with that ?

The element I try to check is a text field.

The problem solved, with the reccomendation of the "adeneo".

Thanks a lot :)

What do you do to trigger the check? If, for example, you're clicking a button to do so then you're removing focus from the input (and focusing the button instead). — David Thomas, Nov 01 '12 at 10:25

I believe this is what you want:

$('#element_title').focus(function()
{
console.log('I have the focus now!');
});
