setting textbox focus at the end of the text

[ton]

Hi,

I'm using Ajax to seach direct in a gridview. It works fine. I even keep the
focus on the input text box. Here is my code:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles Me.Load
TextBox2.Attrib utes.Add("onKey Up", "javascript:__d oPostBack('" +
TextBox2.ID + "','')")
TextBox2.Focus( ) 'the initial focus in de load event of the page



and when firing the postback after the key up I got this function working:

Protected Sub TextBox2_TextCh anged(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s)
DbWebGrid2.Show Grid(dbRecordNE T.Session.dbTab leNum.cTableCli ent, , ,
"where name like '%" & TextBox2.Text & "%'") 'shows the clients using the
filter
ScriptManager1. SetFocus(TextBo x2) 'this keeps the focus, BUT ON THE
FIRST CHARACTER


End Sub
How can I keep the cursor to the end of the textbox, so user can keep on
typing to refine their search

thanks

Ton

Re: setting textbox focus at the end of the text

I found the solution:

in my VB PageLoad event

TextBox1.Attrib utes.Add("onfoc us", "javascript:set SelectionRange( '"
+ "','')")


on the top of my HTML code page:

<script language="JavaS cript" type="text/javascript">
function setSelectionRan ge()
{
var inputField = document.getEle mentById('TextB ox1');
if (inputField != null && inputField.valu e.length 0)
{
if (inputField.cre ateTextRange)
{
var FieldRange = inputField.crea teTextRange();
FieldRange.move Start('characte r',
inputField.valu e.length);
FieldRange.coll apse();
FieldRange.sele ct();
}
}
}
</script>

it works fine !
