Hi,

I was trying to do the following thing on my grid: http://javascript-array.com/scripts/onclick_select_all_text_in_field/

I put the JavaScript function in the ClientSideBeginEdit tag.
But all I get is "Can't move focus to the control because it is invisible, not enabled, or of a type that does not accept the focus."

Appreciate any help!

Cheers.

Hi,

You will need to delay the call with setTimeout:

Code: JavaScript 
setTimeout(function()
{
    .....whatever you were doing....
}, 100);


You can not focus the textbox inside ClientSideBeginEdit because at that moment the textbox is not being displayed yet. However if you use setTimeout to display that, then by the time your code is called, the textbox is already displayed.

Thanks!
