Message: [QUOTE="Karl Seguin, post: 3860768"] If this truly is a utility class, it really shouldn' tinheirt Page... Public Class Functions Public shared Sub SetFocus(ByVal controlClientId As string) Dim ScriptString as String = "<script language='javascript'>document.getElementById('" & controlClientId & "').focus();</script>" ctype(HttpContext.Current.Handler, Page).RegisterStartupScript("setFocus", ScriptString) End Sub End Class notice three things: 1 - I made the function shared...which means you can access it via Functions.SetFocus( 2 - I passed in a string instead of the control (all you are doing with the control is getting the clientId, so why not just pass in the clientId??) 3 - Since I no longer inherit Page, I need to get the current page via HttpContext.Current.Handler alternatively, I could pass the page as a 2nd paramter Karl [/QUOTE]
