setFocus() after ajax Postback

[sitefinitysteve]

I want to have a timer on the page (inside an update panel) to just tick away every 5 seconds

When the 5 seconds is up, I'd like to postback to the server, and then when it comes back, set the focus back to the editor control

I've gone through a bunch of the examples in the Demo and help pages, but I can't seem to get it to set the darn focus back to the editor...the only way I've been able to do it is with an input button event.

Ideas?

thanks,
Steve

Hello Steve,

I suggest to try executing the code which sets the focus with a little timeout, e.g as shown below:

       <asp:UpdatePanel ID="UpdatePanel1" runat="server">
            <ContentTemplate>
                <asp:Timer ID="timer" runat="server" Interval="5000" OnTick="timer_Tick">
                </asp:Timer>
                <telerik:RadEditor runat="server" ID="RadEditor1" OnClientLoad="OnClientLoad">
                    <Content>
           Here is sample content!
                    </Content>
                </telerik:RadEditor>
            </ContentTemplate>
        </asp:UpdatePanel>

        <script type="text/javascript">
   function OnClientLoad(sender, args)
   {
      //set the focus on the the editor
      setTimeout(function(){
      sender.setFocus();

      }, 100);
   }

        </script>

For your convenience I attached my test demo - in case you need further assistance, please modify it in order to replicate your setup, open a new support ticket and send it to us along with detailed explanations and reproduction steps.
