Replace this:

document.getElementById('<%myUserControl.ClientID%>').focus()

with this:

document.getElementById('<%= myUserControl.ClientID%>').focus()

I am not sure of that which component you want to focus on. If you want to focus on the "Rates". Based on the code you posted on the other question, I suggest you change your code to.

<a id="p2" href="#" runat="server">Rates</a>

: remove the lable and then add href to do what you want to do here. and then in your javascript: document.getElementById("<%=p2.ClientID%>").focus();

then you can get Rates focus.
