Asp:net 2.0: Textbox focus issue

[leena13]

Hi,

I have a textbox on my asp.net 2.0 page with a grid and other controls. Now once the grid is populated, I notice that clicking on the textbox with the mouse does not make it editable (actually doesn;t allow the focus to come on the textbox).

I have to keep tabbing and only then does the focus come on the textbox.

FYI (though I don't think this could be the cause of the problem) I'm using an Atlas AutoCompleteExtender control associated with this textbox.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks in advance.

Have you tried using javascript .Focus method to give the textbox control focus?

You can try:
textbox1.SetFocus when the page loads


Hope this helps.

I have tried using the focus method as well, but that is not helping either.

I also have a linkbutton when clicked, is supposed to clear the textbox contents. I have noticed that the textbox is still displaying the value from the AutoCompleteExtender (though when a breakpoint is set it shows an empty string).
