The right way [for now] is to use Page.RegisterStartupScript because: (1) It will make only one copy of the script in rendered page
(2) It places the script block after all form tags are created This is *extremely* useful and I use it quite often in user controls. I agree this would be a useful feature, but I know the ASP.Net is working on many new things [that I cannot talk about here as I am under NDA]. they have a priority list that they are dealing with and I am sure will get to this.

No, I'm not afraid of being too technical. It's just that when I know that element.focus() will give me the exact solution that I need in Javascript and that .NET, being touted as one of the NEXT BIG THINGS, which I really like and think is pretty cool, is severely lacking such an object. Now, what should I do? I will probably not in any way attempt to do what that page has called for. I can write my own javascript do to it much faster in my particular application. Yes, it is gibberish. I'm sure it works, but I'm also sure that there are better ways. Which you haven't attempted to point out, but rather insulted me. Thanks big time for the help.

GAP will tell you otherwise of course... -----Original Message----- From: Matthew Small [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Thanks for your help, David, but that was so much gibberish. I thought that a complete language like VB.net would have an easy focus function of some sort.
