Thank you,
Sounds like a plan.

>>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:

>>	string ClientID = FocusControl.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.
