TabContainer or TabPanel break focus

Hi,

this is probably a simple problem, but I can't find a solution in this forum. I'm getting started with the AJAX Control Toolkit and set up a quite simple testpage:

There is a table, in one cell there is an update panel with some textboxes. I can place focus on one of these boxes regularily using eg "this.TextBox2.Focus();" in Page.Load.

As soon as I put a TabContainer and a TabPanel around the update Panel, the focus doesn't work anymore. I tried several methods of setting focus described in this forum, it simply doesn't work.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated!

Kind regards,

Sven

Sorry, I intended to point to this post as a related issue, but the other one might have the same problem with the accordion:

I know how you feel. I looked for HOURS about how to do this. I finally found this somehow. Make sure you place this code at the BOTTOM of your ASP.Net page. It has to be at the bottom because the Sys has to come after the script manager. (or at least that is what it seems. It will give errors at the top.) Just replace txtPartNo with your control name.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
Sys.Application.add_load
(
function()
{
window.setTimeout(focus, 1);
}
)
function focus()
{
try
{
document.getElementById('<%=txtPartNo.ClientID %>').focus();
}
catch(err)
{
//do nothing
}
}
</script>

Have a great day!

Thanks, the code above works!!! I've been googling a similar problem for 2 days!

vb code = page.setfocus(control) and control.setfocus() and

html =<formid="form1"DefaultFocus="txtBox1n"runat="server">

don't work when you are using ajax updatepanel. The work around above does work.
