Setting the focus on textedit box

I have a edit box in my web form. When the form is loaded I want to set the
focus on this control.
How to do that ? Thanks

The easiest, most reliable way is client side javascript:

MyControl.focus ();

It appears as if Mozilla needs to have the focus set on that div in order for the mousewheel to work. That's all that link does. The mousewheel works perfectly in IE without the link. It scrolls the div even if there is a scrollbar on the page. Is...

I want to set a control in a form to have the default focus. This is not the accept button -- that's set to a button when is 'clicked' when you press ENTER. I want a textbox to have the focus when the form is loaded.

I cannot call control.Focus() from Form1_Load() since...

I have a number of controls on a tab page. I want to validate them all when the user tries to leave the tab. I then want to highlight the first control which fails validation. How can I do this?
