No, if thats the case I can use textchanged event right. I want to find which textbox the user has clicked on. The textbox with the cursor blinking .

You have onFocus and onBlur events in the client window, and you can handle them in JavaScript to set a property that would get submitted when your button is clicked. Would that help?

There is an onfocus JavaScript event however this won't work for you since the textbox will loose focus and the button will receive the onfocus event when clicked.

You could handle the onBlur event of the textbox and set a variable indicating which textbox previously had focus, then read that variable in the button event.
