of the institute so no of user are not fixed so tell me how can i do?i
did coding for sending one mail to the single user but i don't know how
to do for the group?should i take one array?please send me the code
snippet and it's better if it's in visual basic and not asp..thanks a
lot in advance
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.

Set Focus

How do you set the focus to a text box in ASP .NET? ASP Text boxes don't have a focus or setfocus method.Spot on.
Javascript has a "focus" function call :)

Something likedocument.getElementById('txtUsername').focus();

set focus

Set focus and cursor at end of text?

I use this code to set focus to a textbox when I load a page:

private void SetFocus(System.Web.UI.Control ctrl)
{
string s = "<SCRIPT language=\"javascript\">document.getElementById('" +
ctrl.ID + "').focus()</SCRIPT>";

RegisterStartupScript("focus", s);
}

I would also like the cursor to be positioned at the end of the text field.
Using only the above code, the cursor is positioned at the beginning of the
textbox even if there are some text present in the field.

How can I position the cusrsor at the end of the text?

OlavOlav,

Here we go:

Create a new function in your <head> tag in the HTML section:

function SetEnd (TB)
{
if (TB.createTextRange)
{
var FieldRange = TB.createTextRange();
FieldRange.moveStart('character', TB.value.length);
FieldRange.collapse();
FieldRange.select();
}
}

Create a new onfocus JavaScript event in your asp text box tag (asp:textBox)
that calls the SetEnd function above:

<asp:textbox id="TextBox1" runat="server" Width="65px"
onfocus="SetEnd(this)">Existing text</asp:textbox
Make sure you keep your existing code that calls the SetFocus function as it
is:

private void SetFocus(System.Web.UI.Control ctrl)
{
string s = "<SCRIPT language=\"javascript\">document.getElementById('" +
ctrl.ID + "').focus()</SCRIPT>";

RegisterStartupScript("focus", s);
}

Don't forget to call the above SetFocus() function in your Body tag on page
load ....( <body onload="SetFocus()"> )

Good luck!

Regards,

Mohammad Samara.

set focus in text box

Hi, id like to set focus for a text box in my web form but I dont know how. the text boxes do not have a setFocus or a Focus method

Thanks!!

myTextBox.select(); <<<< JavaScript
we use the following function which injects client side script

PublicSharedSub Set_Focus(ByVal aspPageAs System.Web.UI.Page,ByVal strControlNameAsString)

Try

Dim strScriptAsString

strScript ="<script language=javascript> document.all.item(""" & strControlName &""").focus() </script>"

aspPage.RegisterStartupScript("focus", strScript)

Catch exAs Exception
Throw ex
EndTry
EndSub

following then to call you would simply say:- Set_Focus(Me.Page,"txtMyTextbox")

In .NET 2.0, the Focus() method will set focus if you want to do it from code-beside.

HTH,
Ryan

set focus on postback/textchanged

I'm setting focus depenting upon which field has changed value. I'm doing
this with the following: Page.RegisterStartupScript("SetFocus", "<script
language=""Jscript"" > document.getElementById(""txtCity"").focus();
</Script>"). This is being called on the textChanged event for textboxes. fo
r
city it goes to state for state it goes to zip, ...
It works, but is this the correct way to do this or should this be a seties
of if then else's in he page load? if so, how can i isolate the textbox that
caused the event?
thanks
kesYou can change the javascript you have below to generate the name of the
control that caused the event:
Page.RegisterStartupScript("SetFocus", "<script language='Jscript'>
document.getElementById(" + controlName + ").focus(); </Script>").
in the "Changed" event of the control just set the "controlName" variable to
the required javascript id for the control:
i.e. for the txtCity changed event:
controlName = "txtCity";
I'm assuming that you are calling the Page.RegisterStartupScript() function
in the "Render" event of the page - you'll need to remember that because the
"Render" is called after the "Changed" event and thats what you want, if you
put the Page.RegisterStartupScript() in the Page_Load() by mistake, then the
"controlName" variable will not be assigned a value yet.

Thank you for replying!
i have the function call in each of the respective controls' changed event
:
Example:
Private Sub txtbAdr1_TextChanged(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e
As System.EventArgs) Handles txtbAdr1.TextChanged
If chkShipSame.Checked Then
txtSadr1.Text = txtbAdr1.Text
Page.RegisterStartupScript("SetFocus", "<script
language=""Javascript"" > document.getElementById(""txtbadr2"").focus();
</Script>")
End If
End Sub
In vS.net i could not find the Render event under page, but i'm still
learning this. as well as JavaScript. I see PreRender, but not render.
1. My guess is the funtion calls are not in the right place, but should only
be one function call in the Render event?
2. where can i find Render?
3. the controlname variable is this a simple .net string variable or a
javascript variable?
Thanks

Answers:
1. Yes, but use "PreRender" not "Render"
2. Don't worry about Render
3. The controlName variable is a field of the "Page" class that you create
and all the "Change" events can set it to the javascript ID of the control.
The page events are typically executed in the following order:
a) Init
b) Load
c) Change Events
d) Click Events
e) PreRender
f) Render

ASP.NET 2.0 will have an enhanced page event life cycle with more events
that you can hook into.
