is there a way to
1) programmatically close a Web Form (e.g. the user presses a button, and
the click event calls some close method I can't find) Yes I can do this in
JavaScript, but I'd like to NOT do this in JavaScript
2) programmatically set focus to a specific Web Form Control (e.g. in the
page load event handler, set focus to a specific Textbox) Yes I can do this
in JavaScript, but I'd like to NOT do this in JavaScript

David,

HTTP is connectionless. Therefore, if you are going to do this type of
thing, you must do it from client-side code.

well you can always insert the script into the response object from the
codebehind
something like Response.Write("<script>window.close()</script>");
it is still script but done from the codebehind as opposed to in the page.
The finally analysis is it must be done thru script either thru streaming
the script out or writing script on the client page
