Hi

I want to set focus to a drop down list in my web page. But I m not able to do it. The focus() is not available for the drop down list. Is there any other way to set focus to a drop down list ? other than focus()

Thanking in advance ?

You can use Clientside JavaScript code to do that.

You should take a look at some Javascript tutorials. And how to interact with .NET using Javascript in ASP.NET.

This may be useful to you!!
<%@ Language=JavaScript%>
<%Response.buffer=true%>
<html>

<head>
<title>Example Focus</title>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
function SetFocus() // function to set focus
{
frmExample.txtStudentName.focus()
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</head>

<body>

<h1 align="center">Focus Example</h1>

<form id="frmExample" name="frmExample"method="post">

<center><H3>Student Information</H3>
<p>Student name: <input id="txtStudentName" name="txtStudentName" size="50"><br>
<INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="Set Focus" onClick="SetFocus()">
</center>
</form>

</body>
</html>
NOTE:
I have done this using Notepad
Save this code as Anything as long as you include an .asp extension

Hope this helps!

No problem buddy!

Just for interest sake, you could use something like:
<SELECT NAME="Airline">

<OPTION VALUE="American">American Airlines
<OPTION VALUE="United">United Airlines
<OPTION VALUE="USAir">USAIR
<OPTION VALUE="Delta">Delta Airlines
<OPTION VALUE="BritAir">British Airways
<OPTION VALUE="NWAir">Northwest Airlines

</SELECT>
To get a dropdown list in HTML. The Option Values are the "names" of the listitems and the display values.

Good work!
