Use the .focus javascript method

I know that too.
But the text box in datagird has different id than their actual name

for newUPC the name may be look like
dgrdOrder__ctl2_newUPC. I mean how to find out the control first

You could use the FindControl method in one of the DataGrid events and the user Page.RegisterStartUpScript to add the relevant javascript function.

I am still confused.
Text box is in the Footer of datagrid. I can find the control using

If e.Item.ItemType = ListItemType.Footer Then
Dim tb As TextBox
tb = CType(e.Item.FindControl("newUPC"), TextBox)
End If

But I need to focus this text field only when the page reload. Where should I put the code
Thanks

Did you get this solved? If not then what do you mean only when the page reload?

Something like...

In the formload event:

If page.ispostback then
yourcode
End

I think I can help you out here because I have had to give focus like this before, just give me a little more info, if you haven't already figured it out.
