Use Enter as default key

[Chris Zopers]

Hello,

I've developed an ASP.NET page with some controls on it. One of the
controls is an imagebutton. Can I assign the Enter-key to this button,
so when a user presses the Enter key, the click-event will fire? I know
there's a accesskey property, but this is for ALT plus the key that is
entered. I would like to use the Enter key.

Greetings,
Chris.

You can assign the onkeypress event (from the DHTML Object Model) to trigger
a button's click event using JavaScript. I have a demo that explains how to
set a page's default submit button and default buttons for each other section
on the web page: http://www.societopia.net/samples/ASPPage_Buttons.aspx

If you are using ASP.NET 2.0, it is easy. Just set the DefaultButton
property on a Panel or on the <form runat="server" defaultbutton="">

Grtz,
