Easy one about web forms

[Ann Smith]

How do you set the focus to a text box on a web form? I
want it to go to different boxes depending on the answer
to a question.

Thanks
Ann

Hi Ann,
You need the .focus() method in Javascript to do this.

Is it not possible to do it in VB then?

For web forms you have to set focus with client-side script. You can
emit the script from the server, with routines such as
RegisterStartupScript.

Marcie,

However I never succeeded with this one, because it has to be absolute the
last on a page.

\\\
When this is your textbox (can as well be an ASP box it is the ID that
counts)
<INPUT tabindex="1" id="fieldid" type="text" size="27">

//This should be the last rows in your html aspx file

<script language="JavaScript">
document.all("fieldid").focus();
</script>
</HTML>
///

I hope this helps a little bit?
