the code behind to javascript in vb. I want to have one control have focus
with the page loading with one condition and have another control with focus
after the page loads from a different condition. A gets set in the code
aspx.vb file and the script might look something like,
<script language="javascript">
function DoHighlight(a)
{
if a = 1 {
document.Form1.dr_lst_system.focus();
}
else
{
Form1.textbox1.focus();
}
}
</script
thanks.

Software engineer.Hi Paul,
It is impossible to pass a variable value from the server to the client.
Server-side code executes on the server. Client-side code executes on the
client.
That said, it is certainly possible to WRITE client-side scripting code
(which will be executed on the client) dynamically from the server side.
That is what you need to do.

Paul,
This is normally done with hidden input controls. Put a line
<input type=hidden runat=server id=inhA
in the .aspx file. If you switch from Html view to Design and back, you will
find in the code-behind a definition for inhA as an obyect of type
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlInputHidden.
You can now set inhA.Value="1" on server side and check if (inhA.value ==
"1") on client side.

Hi thanks for the response. Here is what I have but it does not seem to be
working. In the Java script I have
<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">
<input type="hidden" runat="server" id="inhA" NAME="inhA">
<script language="javascript" event="onload" for="window">
if (inhA.value == 0)
{Form1.dr_tx_names.focus();}
if (inhA.value == 1)
{Form1.dr_lst_system.focus();}
</script>and in the aspx.vb file I have
in page load event
If Not Page.IsPostBack Then 'only first time page loads
Me.inhA.Value = 0
and in a dropdown event select-causes the page to reload I have
Me.inhA.Value = 1
**************so I want one control two have focus if inhA = 0 and the other
to have focus if inhA = 1.
thanks for the information.

Something like
if(<%=a%> = 1) will work (a is a server-side variable)
ok thanks for the information.
