Is there something I can do like this (perhap via a plugin)

if ( ! $('form#contact input]').hasFocus()) {

    $('form#contact input:first]').focus();
}

Basically, set focus to the first input, but only if the user has not already clicked into anything?

I know this will work too, but is there anything more elegant?

$(function() {
    var focused = FALSE:
    $('form#contact input]').focus(function() {
        focused = TRUE;

    }); 

    setTimeout(function() {
       if ( ! focused) {      
            $('form#contact input:first]').focus();
       };
    }, 500);

});
