Easiest way to do this is to add a panel control and set the default button property of the panel control

Using a Panel's "DefaultButton" worked perfectly for my needs. I have three text box functions on one page, and just made sure each "tool" had a Panel surrounding it, then added the button as the Default to each panel. Thanks!

Hi,

Try using this, Assuming that we have asp TextBox with an ID of "TextBox1" and Button with an ID of "Button1" controls on our page.

Put this code on the Head of your aspx page.

<script language="javascript">
function doClick(e, buttonid){
var evt = e ? e : window.event;
var bt = document.getElementById(buttonid);
if (bt){
if (evt.keyCode == 13){
bt.click();
return false;
}
}
}
</script>

And this on page load event.
TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "return doClick(event,'" + Button1.ClientID + "')");

In page load add attributes for your control and you can use keycode on html page in javascript:

event.keyCode == 13 //For enter button

problem with defaultbutton is it will not work as you expected in Firefox when you click Enter key while the cursor in a Multi line textbox

It will simply postback rather than going to next line :( . And you can not ignore Firefox as now it have almost half of the browser share

    <form id="form1" runat="server" 
                     defaultbutton="Button1">
    <div>
        <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server">
        </asp:TextBox><br />
        <br />
        <asp:TextBox ID="txtTest" runat="server">
        </asp:TextBox>
        <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" 
             OnClick="Button1_Click" Text="Button" />
   </div>
    </form>
</body>

or if we use panel than


<asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" defaultbutton="Button1">

Hi,

Any one create more then one submit button in the application. Here is the Example. That create more then one submit button depending on the focus of the text button before hit enter.

Call makeSubmitButton on the page_Load and pass the textBoxId and also ButtonId which you want to make submit button when focus is on txtBoxId.

It will set ButtonId as a default button....

public void makeSubmitButton(System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox txtBox, System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton CmdButton)
    {
        txtBox.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "if(event.which || event.keyCode){if ((event.which == 13) || (event.keyCode == 13)) {document.getElementById('" +   CmdButton.UniqueID + "').click();return false;}} else {return true}; ");
    }

Sincerely,
Pradeep Kr. Sharma

Hi Everyone,

It has been a while since I wrote that code. I just tested it and it works fine. Here's proof: http://pocketpollster.com/beta

Looking at it now, the pertinent code only appears to be this:

<asp:Button ID="buttonSubscribe" CssClass="smallTextButton" runat="server" Text="Subscribe" OnClick="buttonSubscribe_Click" ValidationGroup="Newsletter" />

And:

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    // Make the Newsletter Subscribe button the default button
    if (!IsPostBack)
    {
      Page.Form.DefaultButton = buttonSubscribe.UniqueID;
    }
}

I'm by no means the expert in this area, but what I've written does work for me. Hopefully it'll help you.

Robert
