Active Server Pages Programming (ASP) - ASP.net Focus

Expert: Ujjwal - 12/6/2004

Question
How do I automatically set the focus on a asp.net page to a text box when the page loads?

Also how do I launch a command button such as search or submit when the enter button is pressed on a keyboard?

Answer
IN C#, for Set focus try this:

1) In the Form.Load event handler, write: this.ActiveControl = txtInput;
2) In the Form.Activate event handler, write:
txtInput.Focus();

In ASPX file, your code should be for Launching a command button when enter button is pressed:

<body onkeydown="if (event.keyCode == 13){event.returnValue = false; event.cancel = true; document.getElementById('btnSearch').click();}" leftMargin="0" topMargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0">
