ASP.Net 2.0 has a nice feature. You can - in a panel - define a DefaultButton. When you have focus in a TextBox (on the panel) and presses RETURN, you click the DefaultButon.
When using an UpdatePanel (ScriptManager:EnablePartialRendering="True)  this also works fine, but... only once.  
Does somebody knows a workaround or a solution or am I doing something wrong?

Thank you for your reply Luis. It works!

This is a known issue in the current CTP and we are considering fixing it in a future release.

Thanks,

Eilon

the prerender solution doesn't work at my neither :(

maybe it depends on which CTP you're using? are there any other solutions available right now?

  protected override void OnPreRender(EventArgs args)
  {
    base.OnPreRender(args);
    this.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript(this.GetType(), "resetBt", "__defaultFired = false;", true);
  }

works in IE but not in Firefox

always working Workaround or Fix would be great
 

Does anyone have a workaround for this that will work in Firefox?  I'd really rather not have to yank out all of my updatepanels, but this is about the only option I see right now. 

Thanks

hello.

i really hanve't checked how the current version implements this functionality. i suggest that you use a new static methods of the scriptmanager class instead of using the clientscriptmanager class to register the startup scripts.

Has anyone figured out a way to get the the default button working with firefox in an updatepanel?

Did'nt want to start a new topic!

 Thanks

After struggling with this for a while between browsers and Atlas ajax.net I chose a dumb method and implement this in code, w/o using the DefaultButton attribute. I set this on Page_Load for any control collection. In fact ASP.NET should have  a default button setting for just about anything that is clickable - for example the button on an panel extender.

The OnPrerender() solution above didn't work for my app.

I had this issue in IE and Firefox. In IE the first time the user pressed enter the default button fired, but after that it won't fire. In FireFox is was just the opposite, the first time it wouldn't fire and then it fired fine after that.

The fix I came up with (after seeing the OnPrerender() exmaple) is to set the __defaultFired variable appropriately in the pageLoad() function which AJAX calls after the page is completely loaded. This works for IE, Firefox and Safari.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
   function pageLoad()
   {
      if (navigator.userAgent.indexOf("Firefox")!=-1)
      {
         __defaultFired = true;
      }
      else
      {
         __defaultFired = false;
      }
   }
</script>

I put this on my master page and now all my default buttons fire properly now.

Anyone know why Firefox has the reverse logic for __defaultFired???

I am having the same problem.  :(  DefaultButton works only in IE, not in Firefox.  Can anyone on the Asp.net Ajax team comment on whether this will be fixed for the release version?

Thanks
