}
}

I tried the following, but it didn't seem to work.
<script language="JavaScript" >
document.getElementById("tfPassword").focus();
</script>

<div align="center">
<p><span class="HeaderText">Please enter the password to process
these pages</span></p>
<form name="_ctl1" method="post"
action="TMPluy1i8bi.aspx" id="_ctl1">
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE"
value="dDwtMTU3MDA0ODk5NDs7PhcziXEHc3pyzzr86qHlt50NG4LD" />
<table width="230" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="35%"
class="BodyText">Password: said:
<td width="65%"><input
name="tfPassword" type="text" id="tfPassword" /> said:

I am running this in an asp.net page running vb.net. Is there a
problem running javascript with this?

Thanks,

Tom.
