I need help setting focus to an @Html.TextBoxFor in my MVC.Net application

Hi Experts,
I need help setting focus on a pageload to an @Html.TextBoxFor in my MVC.Net application.
How can I do this? Here is my @Html.TextBoxFor code below (in a view).

Thank you,

Hi,

You can set the focus using the jQuery as follows.

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function () {

        $("#Qty").focus();
    });

</script>

Open in new window

Lokesh,
Should I put the Script at the top of my view or towards the bottom?

Hi,

you can add below.

make sure you referenced the jquery before executing this script.

This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

How do you reference jQuery?
I only have a refence to bootstap on the top of my view:

<link href="~/Content/bootstrap.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Open in new window

I am using Visual Studio 2015. Don't know if that makes a difference on how to reference jQuery.

Hi,

jQuery will be referenced in _layout.cshtml

I see it at the bottom of my _layout.cshtml page.
Does that mean that I don't have to include\reference it in my view?
