Set Focus

[Linda224]

Hello

I am working on a vb.net web form where after hiting submit I want the curser to set focus in a text box. Does any one know how to do that?

Thank you!

Yes, you'll have to use the javascript "focus" method.

If you are Using VS2005, the 2.0 framework as a .focus method on the textbox control.

 

[dvannoy]

if your using VS2003 you can do something like this

Private Sub SetFocus(ByVal ctrl As System.Web.UI.Control)

Dim s As String = "<SCRIPT language='javascript'>document.getElementById('" & ctrl.ID & "').focus() </SCRIPT>"

RegisterStartupScript("focus", s)

End Sub

Then use SetFocus(TextBox)

there are a few different ways to do this. try searching the forum as well.
