Get element that has focus from ngFocus

Is there a way to get the innerHTML of the element that triggers a ngFocus or ngBlur?

<textarea ng-focus="focus()"></textarea>

then in my controller I have

$scope.focus = function() {
    //I need innerHTML here of the textarea that triggered me
}

focus(this)

will not pass DOM element to the function focus(this). Here this will refer to the scope. If you want to access the DOM element use focus($event). In the callback function you can get the DOM element by event.target

You could use ng-model on that text area. So while ng-focus event gets fired you could get that value from scope of the controller easily.
