e.g.:
<body onload="document.forms[0].ASD.focus()">



ASD must be the name of the control.

Warning:
this metod will not work if ASD is a sub control (e.g: within a datagrid). to overcome it i guess u have to use the ClientId method...

generate the script in code behind, i.e. use


Page.RegisterStartupScript(1,"<script>document.forms[0].ASD.focus()</script>")
