Submit when pressing enter?

Actually it would be great if it could be integrated with ASP.NET 2 somehow.
I mean I want to "simulate" a button click and there might be several buttons on the page doing different stuff.

David,

Sometimes, this is the default behavior when the enter key is pressed...it depends on whether or not you a single "submit" button on a page (this includes usercontrols, third party controls, etc.).

I think there are a couple of ways you could go about simulating this behavior - both of them being client-side, however.

1) Wire up a global javascript event that "traps" the keypress event for the enter key, or

2) Add a javascript function which will conditionally process the events regardless of which control initiated the submit, ie:

<script type='text/javascript'>
function pressedEnter(control)
{
// You would want to put a switch statement in here
// to handle the control coming in.
alert(control);
}
</script>

<input type='text'>
<input type='text''>
<input type="submit" onsubmit='pressedEnter(this)'>

Granted, it's not a server-side solution, but really, none of the events are truly server-side...they're just client-side events that initiate specific server-side routines based on the information contained in the __doPostBack javascript function.

Well David,

Try this <form id="form1" defaultbutton="btnSubmit" defaultfocus="textbox1" runat="server">

This will set btnSubmit as default button of the form

Thanks for your help guys.
I ended up doing it this way serverside (ASP.NET 2 / C#):

string loginFocusScript = "<script>var textBox = document.getElementById('" + this.Login.UsernameTextbox.ClientID + "');";
loginFocusScript += "if (textBox != null) {textBox.focus();}</script>";
this.Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "loginFocus", loginFocusScript);

Not too happy with it, but it works.
