Enter key in datagrid

[Stephen J. Shephard]

Hi there,
I know this is probably a 101-type question, and I've dealt with it using
client script blocks before, but I'm curious about what the best way to
handle the enter key is.. (i.e., to handle it when it generates a postback).

In my particularly frustrating situation, I have a master-detail type
datagrid/form page, and when the user hits the enter key, the form is
submitted and the first record in the master grid gets deleted. I'm assuming
this is because the enter key is submitting the form and what, assuming a
'Delete' command name or something? The only way a record can get deleted is
by using my 'ondeletecommand' event handler.. My datagrid has four columns,
the first being a linkcommand with an 'edit' command name, the second and
third are simple labels, and the fourth is an image button with a 'delete'
command name.

Does anyone have any advice, not necessarily for the particular nuance of my
problem, but just in general, how to handle the enter key? I've seen some
examples on the web with people building their own datagrid controls that
inherit from the datagrid, adding functionality to handle the enter key, but
this is a bit much for what I'm trying to do. Surely there's a better way to
handle the enter key than building a new control..?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
S
