setting focus to textbox

[Tony Piperato]

Hello,

Can someone tell me if/how I can set the focus to a textbox so when the page
loads the cursor is placed in the textbox and the user can just begin
typing?

Thanks.

Pip

Hi Tony,

Its pretty simple, you just need to output some javascript from the
server-side to set the focus to the control you want, take a look at
javascript's focus function. If I remember right, ScottGu[1] has posted a
ppt with some tricks & tips (including the focus one).
