Hi everyone How would I set focus to a textbox control on page load?

use this below code to set focus to any control call this function in form load as SetFocus(TextBox1) Private Sub SetFocus(ByVal ctrl As System.Web.UI.Control) Dim s As String = "document.getElementById('" & ctrl.ID & "').focus() " RegisterStartupScript("focus", s) End Sub

It requires a javascript function. if you want to set the cursor to a textbox named "Mytext" In Page_Load add the following lines: string strJS = "function SetFocus(ControlName)" + "{document.getElementByID('" + Mytext.ClientID + "').focus();}"; Page.RegisterStartupScript("SetFocus", strJS); Tojamismis
