Joe,
Just change < body > to be < body OnLoad="document.forms[0].Button1.focus();" > to set the initial focus to Button1
HTH,
Doug
Thanks for the response. Now all I have to do figure out how to impliment java into the page in the first place :) So say I have the following very simple VS7 generated html form. How would I use what you have told me?
< % ERROR: @ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="WebForm1.aspx.vb" Inherits="WebControlTest.WebForm1"
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">

<body>
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" Width="141px" Height="23px"></asp:Button>
<asp:Button id="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button" Width="141px" Height="23px"></asp:Button>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="107px"></asp:TextBox>
</form>
</body>
</HTML>

>I just use Javascript in the Body Tag with OnLoad loaded with where I want to go. Be aware that if you set your focus to a control that is not enabled you'll have trouble. Here is how I handle it (but I'm always open to new ideas).
