Question

I created a textbox and wrote onfocus="getFocus()"

Now I wrote function in javascript

function getFocus()

        {
            alert('Hello I Got Focus !!');
        }

The problem is in IE8 it worked perfectly, but in IE9 alert is not showing.
Can anyone tell what is wrong with the code ??

I also tried

txtAmt.Attributes.Add("onfocus","getFocus()")

but still it didn’t worked

i too tried

txtAmt.Attributes.Add("onfocus","javascript:getFocus();")

Now i am worried.. what to do ??

Open up the IE developer tool (F12) after your page is loaded.

Check the Browser Mode: and Document Mode:

Try setting Browser Mode to IE9, and Document Mode to IE9 Standards.

Now try again and see if that works.
