VS 2008 ASP.NET 3.5 SetFocus on dropdown listbox on modal popup

Question

Good morning.

I am trying to set the focus on dropdown listbox on modal popup. I am using the following:

ddReasonEnrolling.Focus();

without success.

I did some research and found some JScript examples, but I didn't have any luck implementing those either. I thought this would be a pretty simple matter. I am new to web programming, but come from a Windows development background.

Any suggestions? Thank you, WHEELS

Solution 1

Serverside you can set the SelectedIndex property of the ListBox.

Take a look at this: http://forums.asp.net/t/1343140.aspx[^] for one possible client side solution

Solution 2

I set the SelectedIndex to 0 and then -1, without success.
