why dont you think simply... use onfocus event to set the object into javascript variable.

var focussedinput = null;
myinput.focus = function(this){
focussedinput = this;
};

You can also define this in <input onfocus="javascript:focussedinput = this"> You can now get the values from any function by just calling elem. :) :)
