The JQuery code is fine  You must execute in the ready handler not in the window load event    lt script type  text javascript  gt    function      var aspForm       form aspnetForm      var firstInput       input not input type button  input type submit  button  visible first   aspForm     firstInput focus         lt  script gt    Update  I tried with the example of Karim79 thanks for the example  and it works fine  http   jsfiddle net 2sMfU
