hitting enter does not submit form but refreshes page?

[Abraham Luna]

i am using a master and content page
the regular aspx page not attached to a master page will submit when the
user hits enter

how come a content page will not submit if the user hits enter?

You need to use the <form defaultbutton="IDOfAButton"> or the HtmlForm.DefaultButton
property.

thank you for your answer brock.

i set the defaultbutton in the page_load event. i get an error:

The DefaultButton of '' must be the ID of a control of type IButtonControl.

i think it's because i use a usercontrol:

<RDK:RDK_BaseButton ID="btnSearch" Text="Search" runat="server"
OnClick="btnSearch_Click" />

what can i do to get .net to recognize that it is really a button?

thank you.

You need the ID of the Button inside your custom control. The UniqueID property
is the string you want to use when the Button is nested inside other controls.

I have the same scenario where I have a user control that contains an image
button in ASP.Net 2.0 beta 2. Setting the 'DefaultButton' of a panel or form
to the unique ID of the image button within the user control does not work
for me. I keep getting the message about the control has to implement
iButtonControl.

Do you have any further information to assist in this matter?

finally got it to work:

if (!IsPostBack)
{
this.Form.DefaultButton = btnSearch.UniqueID;
}
