Setting focus on control

[Mike]

Hi,

I have a webform with two textboxes and two buttons. I would like to set the focus to the first textbox when the page is displayed. I tried to change the TabIndex, but apparently, it does not have any effect. Any idea on how I could do that?

Thanks
Mike

The easiest, most reliable way is client side Javascript:

MyControl.focus();

Here's more info:
