I'm not usre if this is what you mean but...
I use this to put the focus on the "LoginName" text box in a login page (when it loads).
<body onload=&quot;document.nameOfYourForm.nameOfYourTextBox.focus()&quot;>

I hope this helps.

Copy the &quot;<Body onload....>&quot; from above and paste it in your html page, dont forget to rename the code with your form name and text box name.

If you have pages that you want different controls to be in focus depending on certain options, I have built this sub to set the focus in your code. Just call the sub from your page_load and pass it the control you want to have focus.

Public Sub SetFocus(ByVal ctrl As System.Web.UI.Control)
Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
sb.Append(&quot;<SCRIPT language='javascript'>document.getElementById('&quot;)
sb.Append(ctrl.ID)
sb.Append(&quot;').focus() </SCRIPT>&quot;)

RegisterStartupScript(&quot;focus&quot;, sb.ToString)

sb = Nothing
End Sub

This procedure works within user controls.

Public Sub SetFocus(ByVal ctrl As System.Web.UI.Control)
Dim sb As New StringBuilder()
sb.Append(&quot;<SCRIPT language='javascript'>document.getElementById('&quot;)
sb.Append(Me.UniqueID)
sb.Append(&quot;:&quot;)
sb.Append(ctrl.ID)
sb.Append(&quot;').focus() </SCRIPT>&quot;)

Page.RegisterStartupScript(&quot;focus&quot;, sb.ToString)

sb = Nothing
End Sub
 That'l do donkey, that'l do

Thanks for the submission, especially the mod for use in a UserControl. I am finding in my app that the script contends with SmartNavigation for which control gets focus, and the script is losing! If I find a way around this (other than turning SmartNavigation off) I'll post it.
