Problem with focusing TextBox when Page loads

36 New Member

Hi,
I am working with Visual Studio 2003, framework 1.1
I am trying to focus a textbox when page loads. I tried

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
Page.RegisterStartupScript("focus", "<script>document.getElementById('name').focus();</script>")

and 

textbox.focus()

and 

textbox.setfocus()

but it says focus or setfocus is not there in system.web.ui.c ontrols.textbox
I have also imported system.text

Can someone help me with this.

Thanks and Regards.

You seem to be mixing your behaviours considerably.
What you want is a javascript function to run in the "onload" event of the page.
In that function you would set the focus of the control.

Something like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
function myfocus() 

{

   var mytext = document.getElementById("mytext2");

   mytext.focus();

   mytext.select();

}

Then assign it to the onload attribute of your page.

Hi, Thanks for the reply.
As u mentioned, the javascript code should be in the code behind or seperate javascript file?
What abt onload event is it the one which is in the code behind???If yes then how will u write the javascript code in code behind?
And I am using asp button not the html one.
How you will be implementing this could u give me a complete example.

Thanks.

You said on page load, nothing about a button press, so I am giving you the examples for how to do it on page load.
Stick the javascript in your aspx file. Then add the onload attribute to your body element.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

<body onload="myfocus();" >

For a button press you would do different things.
