Hi mm.netters,

In an attempt to make my web forms more user friendly, I added the following method to my base form so that I can set focus to any control:

private void SetFocus(Control FocusControl)
{
	System.Text.StringBuilder Script = new System.Text.StringBuilder();
	string ClientID = FocusControl.ClientID;
	Script.Append("<script language='javascript'>");
	Script.Append("document.getElementById('");
	Script.Append(ClientID);
	Script.Append("').focus();");
	Script.Append("</script>");
	this.RegisterStartupScript("SetFocus", Script.ToString());
}

Now I can set focus to any control on my web form by placing the following code in any event.

  this.SetFocus(myControl)

I would appreciate those of you who have experience with browsers other that IE to comment on the impact this code will have if included in my base form. I also would like to know if anyone knows how to position the cursor of a textbox control at a specific spot in the text string after the textbox receives focus.

Regards to all,
Neil
