But, when I try the same in a website, I am not able to get these events their…..Should Java script be used to get these events? Pelase help

GotFocus, LostFocus events for TextBox are in Windows Control but for WebControls, You will not get these, Instead of you should try clientside scripting (Javascript).

In javascript you will get the event focus and blur for a textbox (which is actually a input type=”text” on web page) , and you can use these for your purpose.

For setting an event handler, use on + event as event handler and provide the js code which to execute.

like for blur event you should add attribute onblur and for focus add attribute onfocus

In Javascript you can try, if your aspx has TextBox as

<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="textbox1" onblur="SetTextInTextBox2()" />
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="textbox2" onfocus="SetTextInTextBox2()" />

in javascript

function SetTextInTextBox2()
{
    document.getElementById('textbox2').value = document.getElementById('textbox1').value;
}
