Can any one suggest me , How to Set Focus on same Textbox using Javascript in Asp.net.

if(document.getElementById("Textbox1").value=="")
    {
        alert ( 'Invalid Date' );
        document.getElementById('Textbox1').value="";
        document.getElementById('Textbox1').focus();
    }

The Above coding is the Javascript for "Textbox1" which i used in my Form . This coding is working Properly in INTERNER EXPLORER and in GOOGLE CHROME also but if the textbox1 is NULL and if i press Tab button from Textbox1 means its Working(ie., POPUp Message is coming) but its NOT Focusing on the same Textbox1 itself When i use FIREFOX .

Solution 1

Add some delay in focusing of the field. Something like this:

<br />
setTimeout(function(){document.getElementById('Textbox1').focus()}, 10);<br />

Also make sure that "document.getElementById" is returning you the required element.

Hope this helps!

Thanks RakeshMeena , but the popup message is coming twice when i press Enter button on that texbox1.

Which popup? I believe query was for setting focus only! Can you please share the complete javascript function and also mention that on which event you are calling that function!

Focus is working Properly , The above query which u have given is working Fine when i Press TAB BUTTON but the Alert Message which i mentioned in my script is displaying twice when i press ENTER BUTTON .

Got it! If you can also share the complete javascript function and the event on which you are calling that function (as I asked earlier as well).
