    Set focus to a textbox on page load

    I am new to ASP/ASP.NET so kindly be gentle. When my index.aspx page loads, I need the focus to be on one of the textboxes called txtUserName.

    I come from a VB background, so expecting the obvious, I go to the Page_Load event of the index.aspx page and try to write txtUserName.SetFocus but I see there isn't a SetFocus method for the System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox class.

    What's the way to set the focus to a textbox on the page load in ASP.NET?

    Hi , You may use a java script

    <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    function setFocus()
    {
    document.Form1('TxtCno').focus()
    }
    </SCRIPT>

    and call it in

    <body MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout" bgColor="#003366" onload="setFocus();">


    thats it it will focus the cursor on your desired field
