Focus Control Error After Validation Summary

Luke Sayaw

Hi,

Does anyone have an idea of how to set focus to the first control after summary validation occurs. After clicking on the summary validation message box, the focus should be set to the first control that causes an error.

I am using asp.net and javascripts.So I am trying to solve the problem with a javascript.

Help!

Thanks

Hi Luke!

You will need to register a hidden field and set it to the control that caused the error.

Eg:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
 Me.Page.ClientScript.RegisterHiddenField("__InvalidCtrl", TXT_TextBoxControl.ClientID)
 

Then in your javascript:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
...

document.getElementById(__InvalidCtr).focus();

You'll have to put in try catch blocks in case there is no control that was invalid...that way you aren't trying to set a null control's focus...

Hope this gets you pointed in the right direction!
