NilIf you are in 2.0, use method SetFocus.
In 1.1 you need to do it in with javascript in the body's onload event.
And it is always a good idea to post different questions in separate
threads.

Nil,
Eliyahu is right on. Here's what the javascript would look like if you are
using the 1.1 framework:
<script type='text/javascript'>
textbox = document. getElementById('[Replacewithnameofcontro
l]');
if (textbox)
{
textbox.focus();
}
else
{
// The textbox doesn't exist you have an error
}
</script>
If you are using the 2.0 framework you can do what Eliyahu mentioned or you
could do it this way:
Page.SetFocus(control);
Note: You must call this on or before the PreRender event.

Sorry Eliyahu, I meant to say that in 2.0 he could also use control.focus().
Didn't mean to repeat you...
