Hiii All,

Please have a look at the following javascript:

C#

if((document.getElementById("TextBox1").value == "") || (document.getElementById("TextBox1").value == "__/__/____"))
   {
            alert ( "Invalid Date" );
            document.getElementById("TextBox1").value="__/__/____";
            document.form1.TextBox1.focus();
            return false;
    }

here, I am giving this script on textchanged event of TextBox1 and its working but its not focusing on TextBox1 when we press tab ..
