Hi
How can i set a focus to a textbox in my codebehind page??
I have this WebForm, that takes information from a user and 2 buttons on the
form. One that takes action on the entered information and one that resets
the form...
The second on, the reset button, i would like to set focus back to the first
textbox on the form. I already have an onload in my body, which sets the
focus on the initial load, but this does not repeat this functionallity on
the postback reload. I use smartnavigation , so that only the necesarry
renewale is done.
How can i implement the setfocus to my textbox??

One way, may be not optimal but straightforward , is to introduce a hidden
input control and set it on server side to the client id of the control that
is supposed to get focus. Then, in the body's online event get the id, find
the control and call it's focus() method.

Hi Eliyahu
Yeah, well... Seems like one way of solving the problem... But...
Using the SmartNavigation , ensuring that the page looks efficient upon
resetting the form, the body's OnLoad event is not fired upon PostBack
reload of the page. I have, as is, an OnLoad event setting the focus to my
initial Form textBox. It is actually the same box which should refocus after
emptying the forms content. this however is not solved with the onload event
and it seems that your proposal would do the same thing...
Will try it at postback the result...

the onload fires with smart nav, but the postback page is rendered in a
hidden frame, you need to set the focus in the parent. but the be
careful, becuase the parent page is attached to the onload, rebuilds
itself coping the nodes from the child, so you need to use a
window.setTimeo ut so you code runs after the smartnav code.

, that the onload event did'nt
fire. I also had a hard time to understand, why i could use a
Page.RegisterSt artupScript and have an Alert box pop up, but i could not use
the same to set the focus to an object, although both were set at postback
time on a Smartnav page..
Could you elaborate what you mean. maybe an example code snipplet??

Hi,
Is it possible to retrieve the control that had the focus when the page was
posted back?
Because the focus is lost when a postback occurs I want to manually set the
focus to the control that previously had the focus (smartnavigation doesn't
do the trick).
Thanks, Marco

I have a few textbox controls that have autopostback so that when they loose
focus they update a label control that shows the count of characters in

postback, the page is shown reset -- scrolled to the top and with no control
having focus. Can I maintain scroll/focus w/o writing client-side
scripting?
