When I run this:
document.activeElement
I get this:
<span id="123" data-caption="ABC">
How to get the content of the data-caption tag?
In this case, I would like to see the string ABC.
Many thanks.

You can get it in the following way:
document.activeElement.attributes['data-caption'].value;
P.S. consider using a fallback if the element does not have a data-caption property

missing the real way of getting it, also not sure why you added jQuery when no mention of Jquery – epascarello Aug 02 '21 at 19:55

@AzizaKasenova Follow up question, if you don't mind. How to save this result in Java variable? – smalltownstory Aug 02 '21 at 21:49

I tried this: `String result = js.executeScript("document.activeElement.attributes['data-caption'].value;").toString();` It didn't work – smalltownstory Aug 02 '21 at 21:50
