Creating the Equivelant of a Submit Button

[Coleen]

Hi All

We would like to create an event that will work like the click of a Submit
button, where when the user hits the Enter key in any control on the web
page, it will act as a Submit button and trigger the event like a Submit
button. Any suggestions?

TIA,

Coleen

Hi,,

develop the control and put it to output a script such that catch the event,
for example wire an event handler to document's onkeypress or onkeydown
event handlers (with javascript). Then on these event handlers when
event.keyCode is equal to 13, run your control's custom postback
(__dioPostBack) call which you can generate in the control by using
Page.GetPostBackEventReference.

If you want to see a control developed for this exact purpose:

It is free.

Thanks so much for your help. I will pass this on to my college who does
not have access to these wonderful newsgroups, and asked me to post for him!
Thanks!
