Hi ! I have used focus() function but the control dose not stay in the same textbox. Below is the code .

[CODE]
 if (flag == 0) {
alert (“You must be from 20 intervention school”);
document.getElementByName (“username”).focus();
return false;
}

[/CODE]

@tirnaJun 30.2010 — is "username" an element id or name.

If it is a name and given more than one element can share the same name then your code might not work because the browser won't know which element of the same name to focus on.

But if only one element exists with that name then try

[CODE]
document.getElement[COLOR=red]s[/COLOR]ByName ("username").focus();
[/CODE]

But I would tend to give the element an id and use getElementById() instead....but that's just me...?

Success!
