How do I set a focus to an asp.net textbox

I am running a sub on change of a dropdown menu. After the sub finishes the
process I need to set the focus to another textbox, immediately.

I do not have any idea on how to set focus to a textbox

Any help please

Nash

Use Javascript. When you say you are "running a sub on change of a dropdown
box" is that a server side routine? You need to find a place to execute
<controlname>.focus(); in JavaScript when you return from the server-side
routine. You could add it to the OnLoad event of the <Body> when the
dropdown menu changes.

I am doing some calculation and adding informtion to the database

Sub GetRateBtn_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Page.Validate
If Page.IsValid = True Then
If title_id.SelectedItem.Value <> "Select a Title" Then
BindDataSizeRate()
End If
End Sub

Just as this sub is over I need to set focus to the textbox "pub_pos" just
next to it. Since its reloads the page I do not have focus anywhere. Also I
do not want to use it on Body onload, becuase I am using a template and I
cannot change the body tag.

Please can you help me out

Thanx

If you need to set focus dynamically when the page reloads to different =
controls depending on the users selection, you can place a <asp:literal =
tag within the head of the page. Then within your onclick event method, =
you can set this literal tag to some javascript to focus on the control =
you want to have focus next.

eg:=20
Literal1.Text =3D "<script language=3D\"javascript\"> \n" +=20
                " \n" +=20
                "</script> \n";
=20
