setting focus to a button

mathew68007

I have 2 textboxes and a button. for texbox 1 i have used a handler for autocompletion from database. and using javascript on key pressing "enter" key the focus changes to textbox 2.. in textbox2 textchanged event i am checking a value in database corresponding to the values in textbox1.

so on post back the focus is set to textbox1. i want to be on button1.

$(document).ready(function() {
$("#<%=textbox1.ClientID%>").autocomplete('../wholesalers/Handler.ashx');
});

$(function() {
    $('input:text:first').focus();
    var $inp = $('input:text');
    $inp.bind('keydown', function(e) {
        //var key = (e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.charCode);
        var key = e.which;
        if (key == 13) {
            e.preventDefault();
            var nxtIdx = $inp.index(this) + 1;
            $(":input:text:eq(" + nxtIdx + ")").focus();
        }
    });
});

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
lbl_Wname.Text = Request.QueryString["name"];
if (!IsPostBack)
{
textbox1.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "returnSetfocus(event,'" + textbox1.ClientID + "')");
}
else
{
button1.Focus();
}
}

protected void textbox2_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
if (textbox2.Text == "" || textbox2 == null)
{
ScriptManager.RegisterStartupScript(this, GetType(), "error", "alert('Enter Quantity');", true);
}
else
{

       MySqlConnection mcn = new MySqlConnection("server=localhost;---------------------");
       mcn.Open();
       MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand();
       cmd.CommandText = "searchp";
       cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
       cmd.Connection = mcn;
       cmd.Parameters.Add("p\_product\_name", MySqlDbType.VarChar).Value =textbox1.Text;
       DataTable dt = new DataTable();
       MySqlDataAdapter ada = new MySqlDataAdapter(cmd);
       ada.Fill(dt);
       if (dt.Rows.Count > 0)
       {
           string sts = dt.Rows\[0\]\["status"\].ToString();
           if (sts == "available")
           {
               Image1.ImageUrl = "~/images/tick.gif";
           }
           if (sts == "not-available")
           {
               Image1.ImageUrl = "~/images/cross.gif";
