Imports Cathy.kicks.butt :) Cathy this is good stuff. I am using an alternate method from Douglas, but its good to have more than one way to skin the proverbial cat.

>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.
