Question

I have a login page. Whenever the page loads, the cursor should blink in the first textbox only that is for entering a userid.

I’ve written javascript like this, but I am using Master Pages now.

this is my script:

function fcus(x)
{
  x.focus();
}

<asp:TextBox id="textbox1" onload="javascript:fcus(this);">

and where I have to call this method, I write on onload event of textbox but it gives an error.

Can you tell me where I have to call this method?

Answer 1

Why don’t you use form’s DefaultFocus property (ASP.NET 2.0 and above)?

<form defaultfocus=“textbox1”>

You might need to do this programmatically, depending on your scenario.

Look into:

Page.Form.DefaultFocus

To do it programmatically.
