focus on wrong button

Hi,

I've written a sort of wizard in which the user has to answer some
questions.
This wizard contains a radiobuttonlist en two buttons (back and next).
With the first question there's no problem because I only show one button
but with the second question the problems start.
In the beginning no control has the focus but when the user select an option
from the list, the focus is automaticly set on the back button.
So when the user presses the ENTER key, it goes back to the previous
question in stead of to the next.
Is there a way to put the focus on the next button so it goes to the next
question?

Thx in advance.

You can do it in a javascript. Setup an onload event for the <body> tag. In
the event handler put a line.

myForm.nextButt on.focus();

You can get server side to emit client side code that will tell the client
what button is to set focus on.

Hi,

My focus problem is solved by replacing the back button with a
htmlinputbutton but now I have another problem.
With the <asp:button> I used the command event to pass a variable through
the commandargument , htmlinputbutton s don't have this event.
Is there a workaround or a way to generate the command event?

Greetings, I'm still something of a newbie to html/php/mysql. I have a php/html form with several fields of type "input". If the user enters improper data in a particular field and clicks the Submit button, the php script has to trap it and return a javascript error message box with an OK button. That part I've already got down. But, you know how in Visual Basic you can set the focus on the offending

Dear Group I wondered whether you can help me with this. I do have a page that contains a button and an IFrame. The IFrame contains a dummy page that is set to redirect to a word document when loaded so eventually the word document will be displayed in the IFrame. That works all well. No problem. The only trouble I have is with the button contained on the parent page. When pressed, it runs this script:

Dear Group Some would think this works but somehow the Focus Button Click Event comes back with a message saying that WindowObjectReference is either NULL or not an object! Both buttons are contained on the same page. Any ideas what's wrong? Tanks for your help and efforts! Have a nice day!

Hi, From reading something months ago, I've been under the impression that saying button1.Focus() is enough to focus on the button and highlight it (the dotted box). If this is true, I don't know what's wrong with my version, but it doesn't work. In certain circumstances, when a button is definitely focused on, you wouldn't be able to tell so from looking at the screen (the dotted box isn't there so it looks like nothing's focused on). ...
