Setting focus to a textbox on a form

[DavidArchibald]

I'm being a bit lazy here ... the help in this forum has been excellent so far.

I'd like to set focus to a textbox on a form when the page loads. I'd prefer to use ASP rather than Javascript.

Is this possible? If so, how is it done?

Cheers

Don't think you can use just ASP:

<form name=&quot;formname&quot;>
<input name=&quot;benluc&quot; type=&quot;text&quot;>
<script>document.formname.benluc.focus()</script>
</form>

should work jared@aauser.com -

You can set the taborder in HTML or just you client-side javascript. The ASP page can still be used to determine which box to initially focus on by having it generate that part of the javascript.

Use a javascript function that gets called in the body tag of the document. Add this to the body tag:
Onload=&quot;funcFocus()&quot; (call it whatever you want).

Then create the funcFocus() as:

function funcfocus()
{
self.focus();document.frmname.fieldname.focus();
}

Substitute the name of the form and the name of the text field...works like a charm.
