How do I set focus on a textbox in a web-form?

I tried this with two rich text boxes. When the program is started, it
would automatically give focus to richTextBox1. So in order to give
focus to richTextBox2, in the form load method, i called the following:

this.richTextBo x2.Select();

It worked for me.

In javascript:

document.getEle mentById('First Name').focus();

If you wanted to do this in your server side code then you need a
procedure that registers this script:

public void SetFocus(Contro l focusControl)
{
string clientID = focusControl.Cl ientID;
System.Text.Str ingBuilder script = new
System.Text.Str ingBuilder();
script.Append(@ "<script language='javas cript'>");
script.Append(@ "if(document.ge tElementById('" + clientID +
@"')){document. getElementById( '" + clientID + @"').focus();}" );
script.Append(@ "</script>");

RegisterStartup Script("setFocu s", script.ToString ());
}

Then all you have to do is call it:

SetFocus(this.F irstName);
