Set focus on a text box

Dear All,
I have developed a aspx web page with c# as page language. I have place two
text boxes and two requiredfield validator control for each text box. Now
whenever i a text box is null, i want to set the focus on the text box apart
from displaying the error message. Please help.
Regards,
SwamiOne way is to handle the onBlur event of the text box:
<asp:TextBox runat="server" id="txt" onblur="if (this.value.replace(/\s/g,
'').length == 0) this.focus();">

The easiest, most reliable way is client side java script:
MyControl.focus();
