I almost got this to work.
I can access the <body ID="myBody" runat="server"> tag from inside my User control and add an onLoad event to the tag. When I add the onLoad event to the myBody tag - it is there, but the control still doesn't get focus. I named the User Control to make sure I can get to it, but it still doesn't work.
I tried to use:
a.Attributes.Add("onLoad","addForm.LoginID.UserName.focus()")
But got an error that said that LoginID wasn't a member of addForm. I then tried to loop through the addForm elements and found the Name = LoginID:txtUserName. I changed the line to:
a.Attributes.Add("onLoad","addForm.LoginID:txtUserName.focus()")
I don't get the error now, but it still doesn't seem to work. It is still not getting focus.
Here are the 2 files:
test.aspx:
