setting textbox focus at the end of the text

[ton]

Hi,

I'm using Ajax to seach direct in a gridview. It works fine. I even keep the
focus on the input text box. Here is my code:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
TextBox2.Attributes.Add("onKeyUp", "javascript:__doPostBack('" +
TextBox2.ID + "','')")
TextBox2.Focus() 'the initial focus in de load event of the page



and when firing the postback after the key up I got this function working:

Protected Sub TextBox2_TextChanged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
DbWebGrid2.ShowGrid(dbRecordNET.Session.dbTableNum.cTableClient, , ,
"where name like '%" & TextBox2.Text & "%'") 'shows the clients using the
filter
ScriptManager1.SetFocus(TextBox2) 'this keeps the focus, BUT ON THE
FIRST CHARACTER


End Sub
How can I keep the cursor to the end of the textbox, so user can keep on
typing to refine their search

thanks

Ton

I found the solution:

in my VB PageLoad event

TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onfocus", "javascript:setSelectionRange('"
+ "','')")


on the top of my HTML code page:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setSelectionRange()
{
var inputField = document.getElementById('TextBox1');
if (inputField != null && inputField.value.length > 0)
{
if (inputField.createTextRange)
{
var FieldRange = inputField.createTextRange();
FieldRange.moveStart('character',
inputField.value.length);
FieldRange.collapse();
FieldRange.select();
}
}
}
</script>

it works fine !
