User Controls with Form fields & Multiple Submits

[Guest]

Let's say I have a page which contains a bunch of text boxes and a Button.
Then, also on the same page, I have a User Control I've created which has two
text boxes and a button of its own.

Here's my problem: In this case, when someone's typing in the textboxes on
the page itself and they press the ENTER key, OR if they're typing in the
text boxes of the UserControl and they press the ENTER key, how do I make
sure that the proper submit button receives the click?

In old fashioned HTML, this was done by creating multipple FORMs on a page
and then the browser handled it. In ASP.NET I really don't know what to do.
Do I have to right client-side JavaScript? If so, what do I have to do? Do I
have to create a JS function for each time an onfocus occurs on every text
box of the page? If so, what would that JS do? Or is there a property of the
TextBox object which allows you to automatically define the default "Button"
it pushes if the user hits enter?

Confused.

Hi Alex,

You can actually set which is the primary submit button for a page.

Several links about this, here are a couple:
http://www.allasp.net/enterkey.aspx
http://www.beansoftware.com/ASP.NET-Tutorials/Accept-Enter-Key.aspx

If that doesn't help, search for "asp.net" "enter key" on google.

Hope that helped.
