Setting focus to TextBox

[Simon Cheng]

Hi,,

Is there a way to set focus to an System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox control
on a web form? The class doesn't seem to provide such facility? Basically I
want to set input cursor to a TextBox when the page is first loaded or after
the user submit invalid data.

Thanks,
- Simon

You can set focus to a particular control with the Javascript "focus"
method.

In ASP.NET 2.0 its even easier.

Here are all the details:

Thanks! ASP.NET 2.0's DefaultButton only supports (well) Button control. Is
there an equivalent for TextBox control?
