Default behavor

[Randel Bjorkquist]

I'm trying to figure out how to stop one of the Button on my WebForm, from
activating its OnClick event when I press the "Enter" key while entering
data in a TextBox. If I disable it, the control/focus goes to another
Button and that Button then has the same thing happen.

I know there must be a way of not allowing this. I just haven't found it.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Randel Bjorkquist

I agree the default behavior is less than intuitive and sometimes quite
annoying.

You could use this free control to solve the problem.

If you prefer a more manual approach, here are a couple good articles on the
subject:
