Textbox focus on button click

[manishsawant]

Hi,

I am using ASP.net 2.0. I want to give focus on a textbox on a click of a button. I have written a javascript function and i am adding it as a attribute to the button.
Javascript :
function GetFocusonElements(element)
{
window.parent.frames('MainFrame').document.getElementById(element).focus();
return false;
}

Code Behind :
btn.Attributes.Add("onClick", "javascript:return GetFocusonElements('txtQty');");

When i click on the button the javascript function gets executed but there is no focus and there is a postback. When i click the second time then there is no postback and the textbox gets the focus.

I cant use focus() of textbox as i am using AJAX.

Can anyone please help me with this issue.

Thank you,
Manish

What event are you adding the "btn.Attributes.Add" line in? It should be the page load event.

Hi Mark,

I am adding the "btn.Attributes.Add" line in page_load event.

Thanks,

Try adding the javascript code to the OnClientClick event in your aspx page (rather than from the code behind page). Does that make a difference?

Mark,

It still give the same result. I am confused.

You want to have a look at the entire html content?

Thanks,
