question on changing focus

[Nandu Raghu]

Hi,
I have 2 textboxes and one checkbox. When I click on the checkbox, I want to do some validation and then put the focus on textbox 1 if the validation fails. I am not clear on how to change the focus back to the textbox 1.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks.

use javascript form onLoad method to see if there is any error to make the focus for the form to the check box. that will work.

Thanks for your response, Sandy.
I am still not clean how the onLoad handler would help me in this case. Can you please explain a little more.
Thanks.

This is basically a JavaScript problem.
Right after your validation, probably in the OnChange() method of your checkbox, you could add javascript similar to this :
<...>
document.forms["form_name_here"].elements["textbox1_name_here"].focus();
<...>
Then textbox1 should get the focus...
