    Hi All,

    I'm using the ValidatorSummary control in my web forms. I want to
set focus in the first control in my form where there is some error. Like we
use to do when using javascript in ASP.

    Regards,

    Deep

If your validation happens on the client side, you still need to set focus
with JavaScript. If a round trip is involved, I *think* you still need to
set focus with JavaScript via the BODY onload event. You probably already
have this code, but here it is anyway for BODY onload:

<script language="JavaScript">
function setFocus()
{
    with ( document.all ) {

            BPTMLogin_Email.focus()
    }
}

</script>

<body onload="setFocus()">

Good luck.

Michael

I have a sample that does this. Here is the javascript routine that does
it:

<script language=3D"javascript">
function CustomOnSubmit() {
if (typeof(Page_ValidationActive) !=3D "undefined" &&
Page_ValidationActive =3D=3D true && !Page_IsValid) {
var i;
for (i =3D 0; i < Page_Validators.length; i++) {
var control =3D Page_Validators[i];
if (!control.isvalid) {
if (typeof(control.JumpTo) !=3D "undefined") {
document.all[control.JumpTo].scrollIntoView();
return;
}
}
}
vs1.scrollIntoView();
}
}
</script>

The other plubing required is (a) put CustomOnSubmit into the form
"onsubmit" event and (b) I used an expando on the validators to
reference an <a> tag to scroll to.
