Setting focus..?

Kent Johnson · Oct 26, 2003

Hi all,

I have a Webform with some textboxes on.
How can I set the focus so that a user can start the input directly in the
first textbox in taborder when the forms open? Textbox1 har the taborder set
to 1 but the user still have to push the tab-button twice before TextBox1
gets the focus.

The following should do it.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<title>WebForm1</title>
<meta content="Microsoft Visual Studio.NET 7.0" name="GENERATOR">
<meta content="Visual Basic 7.0" name="CODE_LANGUAGE">
<meta content="JavaScript" name="vs_defaultClientScript">
<meta content="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5"
name="vs_targetSchema">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
function setFocus()
{
document.Form1('TextBox1').focus();
}

</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout" onload="setFocus();">
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server" >
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 275px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 100px" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox2" style="Z-INDEX: 102; LEFT: 277px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 134px" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox3" style="Z-INDEX: 103; LEFT: 278px; POSITION:
absolute; TOP: 171px" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></form>
</body>
</HTML>

Hope this Helps.
