Setting focus during a validation error

The validation controls now (starting with ASP.NET 2.0) allow you to easily set focus on a control in error using the SetFocusOnError property:

    <asp:RequiredFieldValidator
       SetFocusOnError="true"
       ErrorMessage="Enter something" ControlToValidate="TextBox1"
	
       runat="server" />
