When I select an item with the mouse in an ajax panel - tab index jumps to the masterpage

[Jon]

Hi..
I have a combo box in a large ajax form. When I click on item using the mouse the cursor jumps to my main menu on the page. When I select the item with the enter button it works fine and tabs to the next control.
Any ideas?
thanks

Hi..
I doesn't appear to set the focus and place the cursor in TextBox1?

It runs fine... what I am I missing?
thanks

Hi Jon Elster,

The javascript code focusing the textbox control is registered in the SelectedIndexChanged event of RadComboBox:

protected void radComboBoxLocation_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        string script = @"function FocusTxt()
        {
            var txt = $get('TextBox1');
            setTimeout(function() {txt.focus(); }, 100);
        }
        FocusTxt()";
        ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, Page.GetType(), "focusTextBox", script, true);

    }

Hi Jon Elster,

I am sorry for the misunderstanding.

Could you please share what is the browser that you use? This project is tested with IE7 and FF2 and FF3.

If you use IE 6 you can change the timeout to 500 instead of 100 and try it again:

   protected void radComboBoxLocation_SelectedIndexChanged(object o, Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxSelectedIndexChangedEventArgs e)
    {
        string script = @"function FocusTxt()
        {
            var txt = $get('TextBox1');
            setTimeout(function() {txt.focus(); }, 500);
        }
        FocusTxt()";
        ScriptManager.RegisterClientScriptBlock(Page, Page.GetType(), "focusTextBox", script, true);

    }
