HELP: setting focus asp:textbox in a user control

[Jesper Dannemamm]

Hi

I am having trouble setting focus on

I tried using this script in the usercontrol's page_load sub to set focus on
a textbox with the ID = "user_name":
Page.RegisterStartupScript("focus", "<script
language=""JavaScript"">document.getElementById.user_name.focus();</script>
")

I get an error message saying that the textbox is null or not an object.

What am I doing wrong??

Regards
Jesper

ASP is serverside so does not know about focus.

Perhaps this is a ASP.NET thing, but this NG is for classical asp.

Please see a clientside javascript NG or perhaps a dotnet NG.

Can't you use something alone the line's of..;

<%
If user_name="" Then
url = "focus.asp?reqd=* indicates required field&name=" & name
If name="" Then
'muser_name = the texbox name
url = url & "&user_name=*"
End if

response.redirect url & "&foobar=foobar#form"
response.end
End if
%>
