Question : Setting Textbox Focus based on Radio Button (ASP.NET C# Javascript)

I'm not very good with JavaScript (still learning).  I have an ASPX page that has 3 radio buttons, and a textbox associated with each radio button. When the user clicks a particular radio button, I want to set the focus to a certain textbox, and disable the other textboxes.

How could I do this using javascript and not posting back?

For instance, in the code below, if I select radCityState, I want the txtCity textbox to get focus and I want to disable txtOrgName and txtZip...

	<asp:RadioButton ID="radZip" Text="Search by Postal Code:" GroupName="radOrgSearchType" runat="server" />
	<asp:TextBox ID="txtZip" MaxLength="5" runat="server" />

Answer : Setting Textbox Focus based on Radio Button (ASP.NET C# Javascript)

Hi mandi224, 

You could achieve the same functionality via using AJAX but lets try with JavaScript for now.

at the end of the page add this script

<script language="JavaScript">

function ValidateUI(sourceCheckBox, targetTextBox)

{
document.getElementById(targetTextBox).focus();

if(sourceCheckBox == "radCityState")

{
document.getElementById("txtOrgName").disabled=true;

document.getElementById("txtZip").disabled=true;

}

}

</script>

Now to call this function

<asp:RadioButton ID="radOrgName" Text="Search by Organization Name:" Checked="true" GroupName="radOrgSearchType" runat="server" onClick="ValidateUI(this.id, "txtCity");" />                        
       

Repeat the if loop as per your requirements.

Let me know if you need help with it.

Regards,
Chinmay
