To focus textbox after dropdown selected

[venkatarp]

Hi ,

I am facing one different problem.

I have dropdown and textbox.

After i selected drop down textbox should focus.

But its disabled and not focussing......

i am calling this function to set focus WtxtLDescription on dropdown selected by
ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(GetType(), "script1",
"<script language='javascript'>setFocus('E');</script>");


function setFocus(mode)
{
if(mode=='E')
{

document.getElementById("WtxtSDescription").classN ame = "viewbox";
document.getElementById("WtxtSDescription").readOn ly = true;
}
else
{
document.getElementById("WtxtLDescription").focus( );
document.getElementById("WtxtSDescription").readOn ly = false;
document.getElementById("WtxtSDescription").classN ame = "text";
}
}

Please suggest me

Hi,

Try to make textBox Enabled first and then set the focus on it.

document.getElementById("WtxtSDescription").readOn ly = false;
document.getElementById("WtxtLDescription").focus( );

Yeah, disabled controls cannot receive focus, you will have to enable it first.
(If you are worried about users modifying the contents, most controls have some form of ReadOnly mode)
