How to set onclick for default button

[RA]

Hi

I have asp.net web app. When a user clicks the enter key when he is viewing
the aspx web form, it jumps to the starting web form. How can I handle the
user hitting the enter key and to redirect it to a default button. So lets
say that I have a button name - Submit - if the user clicks anywhere in the
form on the enter key I want it to default to a click on the 'Submit' button
which is an asp.net button.


Thanks,
Ron

Do this in you r/javascript function hooked to any where
on textbox etc.

function abc()
{
if(window.event.keyCode == '13')
{
document.getElementById(yoursubmitnuttonid).click
();
event.returnValue = false;
}
}

event.returnvalue is for avoiding beep sound.

Happy programming..
Ajay

You can intercept the client side enter keypress event of the text box and
then click do what you want using javascript code.
Here's a good example:

You could also try using this free control.
