I would like both the text box to get focous and click button to get the defaultbutton but I do not have the <form id="form1" runat="server" >on because I have master page. How can this be acomplished? thanks

Where is the button and textbox located? On the master page or the content page?

Both button and texbox located on the content page.

Just set them on the Page Load event then e.g.

    Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
        TextBox1.Focus()
        Page.Form.DefaultButton = Button1.UniqueID
    End Sub

Thank you Mark for your help. I add this on the page load event and the text focous is working but the default button is not working yet

tabSearch is the id for the button...I am not sure where Button1 is.

thanks
txtDescription.Focus()
Page.Form.DefaultButton = Button1.tabSearch

Button1 was the name of my example Button. Replace it with the name of your Button.

Thank you for your help. I am still confused though I am only able to see the id for Button which is tabSearch but not the name for the button. I am working with vs 2005. thanks Mark

If your button is called tabSearch then your code will look like:

Page.Form.DefaultButton = [!]tabSearch[/!].UniqueID
