Where is the focus ?

[Jensen]

document.TESearch.txtDesc.focus();

Would set the focus to the txtDesc iten of the TESearch Form..OK

Is there a way of asking the document what "item" has get the focus

I need to check were the cursor has been moved to "the new focus"
before an onblur event can deside what action to take.

ie

itemfocus = document.focus?
if itemfocus = txtbox1 then do something
else do something else

Internet Explorer has document.activeElement.

AFAIK there is no equivalent in other browsers, so you need to keep
track of it yourself. I.e. create a general onfocus handler, which
sets a global variable for the target element each time it is
triggered.
