JScript / JavaScript Help

[Roshawn Dawson]

Hi,

Could someone tell how to force a mouse event using either jscript or
javascript? I simply want to allow users to scroll the page after
postbacks using the scroll button on either a mouse or the keyboard
without them having to click the page first.

Thx,
Roshawn

Hi Roshawn,

The simplest way is to make sure that a control on the page has the focus
after the page is loaded. In the sample below, I give the textbox a tabindex
and in the codebehind, I emit the Javascript to cause the textbox to have
the focus.

Let us know if this helps?
