What if you create wrap the code into a (clientside) function, then call
this from the <body>'s onLoad() event?
The only thing I can think of is that the javascript is somehow being
intepreted too early (I know you said that it's being written to the same
place in the source...)

To set a login webform's focus to the username input text control on load,
the following code works fine in the form's Page_Load.
Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()
sb.Append("<script
language='javascript'>document.getElementById('txtUserName').focus()
</script>")
RegisterStartupScript("Focus", sb.ToString)
However if the same code is wrapped in a static method in a class in the web
project, it no longer works.
Public Shared Sub SetFocus(ByVal pg As Page, ByVal ctrl As
System.Web.UI.Control)
Dim sb As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder()
sb.Append("<script language='javascript'>document.getElementById('" &
ctrl.ID & "').focus() </script>")
pg.RegisterStartupScript("Focus", sb.ToString)
End Sub
When called like this from Page_Load:
myClass.SetFocus(Page, txtUserName)
the focus does not get set on the control. The interesting thing is that
the page output (the HTML source viewed in the browser) is identical
whichever way this code is used. Both the method and the inline code
produce this:
<script language='javascript'>Document.getElementById('txtUserName').focus()
</script>
in exactly the same place in the page's HTML in the browser.
Is the explanation for this scientific or occult?
