Why are you appending html as string? Why not simply add the control to controls collection and set focus to it?

well this is not my personal project i am working for it so i have to work accordingly. I am developing it and instead of changing whole code i have to solve it in a way it is.

Try this. I have placed the statement with in the script tag.

C#

this.Sourcecode.AppendLine("<script>\t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById (" + id + ").focus();</script>");>
