After much searching and experimentation, i finally found a way to get the focus onto the login control of my page (i've moved it from the template.master to the AccessDenied.aspx page). just add the following code into your page:

        protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            //Find the Login control inside the LoginView
            System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login curLogin = (System.Web.UI.WebControls.Login)LoginView1.FindCo ntrol("Login1");
            //Then find the Username textbox control
            if (curLogin != null)
            {
                TextBox txtUsername = (TextBox)curLogin.FindControl("UserName");
                //Now set the focus on it
                txtUsername.Focus();
            }
            else
            {
                this.Response.Redirect("default.aspx", false);
                this.Response.End();

            }
        }

not sure if it'll work in the masterpage scenarion, but works great in the AccessDenied (or new Login.aspx) page.

Hello jimi!
I have added this on page template.master with the exclusion of

     else
            {
                this.Response.Redirect("default.aspx", false);
                this.Response.End();

            }
But

Enterring name and password and having pressed button Enter focus of the entering not always moves to button Submit. Possible somehow this correct?

With best wishes Mary.

Mary,

As i said, i moved my code for the login out of the template.master and into AccessDenied.aspx. i'm not sure how this would work in the master template (it seemed a bit risky and unergonomic to me), so i haven't tried it from there i'm afraid.

take a look at my jamestollan.com page and you'll see how i redid this bit.
