Another approach, although it is still javascript, is to include code in your code behind. Just put the following inside of your Page_Load method:

Dim script As String = "<script language=javascript> document.forms[0]." & _
    txtMyControl.ClientID.ToString() + ".focus();</script>"
RegisterStartupScript("focus", script)

Just substitute "txtMyControl" with the name of the Control you want to set focus to.
