Hi,
I'm also new to ASP.NET 2.0 and had a simular problem.
I had a focus on my desired textbox but since I moved that textbox inside a panel + and moved tat panel in an AJAX UpdatePanel I loose the focus.
When the page loads you can see for 0,5 seconds the cursor in the textbox and than it goes simply away.
First I thought it had to do with the complicated loading mechanisme of AJAX but when I moved the textbox out of the panels there was no problem.
Can Some help me?

Setting the focus on page/form load is not a solution.

Use the proxylink for the ModalPopupexten der and use another link button to show/hide the panel.

<asp:LinkButt on ID="AddUserLink " runat="server" OnClick="AddUse rLink_Click">[Search Active Directory]</asp:LinkButton>
<asp:LinkButt on ID="AddUserLink Proxy" runat="server"> </asp:LinkButton>
<%--<asp:LinkButt on ID="PreviewLink Button" runat="server" CausesValidatio n="true" OnClientClick=" PopUp('CodeSetM aintenance.aspx ');" >LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>--%>
<asp:LinkButt on ID="PreviewLink Button" runat="server" CausesValidatio n="true" OnClientClick=" PopUp('CodeSetM aintenance.aspx ');" ></asp:LinkButton>
<ajax:ModalPopu pExtender runat="server" ID="FindUserPop up" BackgroundCssCl ass="modalBackg round" TargetControlID ="AddUserLinkPr oxy" PopupControlID= "FindUserPa nel" CancelControlID ="FindUserClose Button"></ajax:ModalPopup Extender>


<asp:Panel runat="server" ID="FindUserPan el" CssClass="Modal Window" DefaultButton=" FindUserButton" >
<table>
<tr>
<td class="FieldCap tion">Name:</td>
<td class="Spacer"> &nbsp;</td>
<td class="FieldVal ue">
<asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="FindUserNam eText"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button runat="server" ID="FindUserBut ton" Text="Find" OnClick="FindUs erButton_OnClic k" />

</td>
</tr>

</table>
</asp:Panel>

in the code behind

protected void AddUserLink_Cli ck(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
FindUserNameTex t.Focus();
FindUserPopup.S how();

}

post if you anyone of you found any simple solution.
