I have a list box ready to collect information from the users. I noticed
that; every time the users need to enter something they have to use the
mouse to set the cursor inside the box. How can I set the cursor ready
inside the list box so that the users do not have to use the mouse very time
they want to enter something?
empNumBox->Text = " ";

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
document.getElementById('<%=yourListBox.ClientId%>').focus();
//]]>
</script>

Or, IIRC, there is now something in the framework to do that too. Oh, 30
seconds later, here's the example from the help:
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _
ByVal e As System.EventArgs)
TextBox1.Focus()
End Sub

(Don't forget to set the tabindex for input elements.)
