title: not able to focus to textbox after asp.net updatepanel postback
body: <p>I am using asp.net update panel for part of the page. I have a textbox outside of the updatepanel. This textbox is used to search for employees. If the user does some action inside the update panel that causes a postback and after the page is rendered I cannot click on the textbox to enter text. This happens in IE7. But in IE8 it works fine. I can enter the text in the textbox after the postback. Also, if I remove the update panel everything works fine in IE7 also. Did anyone experience this problem? Is there a workaround for this?</p>
