Setting focus to a textbox when a function is called

rated 0 times [ 189] [ 6] / answers: 1 / hits: 80057 / 12 Years ago, sat, march 3, 2012, 12:00:00

I currently have a textbox in my aspx:

 <input type=text id=myTextbox  value= />

I was wondering if I could set the focus (put my cursor in that text box) every time my JavaScript method is called. I was hoping it would work along the lines of this:

function setFocus() {

    document.getElementById(myTextbox).Focus();

}

Any suggestions?

Invoke the lowercase .focus() function:

function setFocus() {

    document.getElementById(myTextbox).focus();

}
