how to set focus to a control when a regular expression is fired

[Guest]

Hi all,

In my asp.net web form i am using regular expressions for the controls.

When the mis match occurs it should give a error message and should set the
focus to the particular controls.

How can i set focus when the regularexpression is fired.

Is it possible to call a javascript function in '<asp:Regularexpression >'..?

I am sure this scenario is common for all.

Please give me the solution to achive the task.


Thanks in advance,

The question is WHERE is the check firing? If its in the codebehind then
you will have to pass the id/name to the clientside code with the .focus
call to set it.
