Let me elaborate the scenario a bit more. I have a tabcontainer 'tabcontainer1' with 4 tabpanels in it. Let's say in the 3rd panel I have a textbox which generates the error' on validation. The problem is tabindex turns to 0 after validation and I'm not able to set the focus on the textbox.
Here I know the textbox control ID alone.Is there anyway I can set the activetabindex to the third panel and set the focus to the textbox. I'm trying to write a generic method to which I can pass the textbox ID with which I need to find the index of the tab panel in the parent tabcontainer, so that I can set the activetabindex to the tabcontainer1 and also set the focus to the textbox.

Please let me know if there is a way to find the actual panel of the textbox and set the index to it and also set the focus to the textbox.

Thanks,
Anandhi

I think you must be having information about the Parent container?

Or may be you can keep track of the TabContainer in a hidden field as and when you change them. Use the hidden field to get the container name/index and reset it.
