Yes you can hold the id in a global variable to obtained it and one checked that currently which input type is focused.

Like it:

var areaId = $('textarea:focus').attr('id');

Either use above code or use below code:

var areaId = "";
//define this variable at the top of starting the javascript code.
areaId = $(':input:focus').attr('id');

Or you can use the focusout() function of jQUery:

$(':input').focusout(function(){
    var id = $(this).attr('id');
});

you can use .focusout() method:

$('#focusedItem').focusout(function() {
  var id = $(this).attr('id');
});
