multiple buttons on a form

[val]

This seems like a silly question, but I am wondering if anyone knows how to
default which button will be clicked when a user hits return on a form with
multiple buttons. The first button on the form is the one whose event is
automatically fired. I don't want that to happen.

In the .net framework library, I found information about creating the asp:buttons
as either a command or a submit button. I then created the first button
as a command, and the second as a submit, hoping to fire the second button
when the user of my form presses return. No such luck. I also tried setting
the "CausesValidation" of the first button to false, but still the first
button is the one clicked by default when the user presses return.

Any ideas?

It's kinda browser specific, however there are ways to handle for different
browser types; see the link below:

Hello,
Haven't tried this myself to see if it works, but try setting the TabIndex
value of the button you want to be the default to 0 and any other buttons
to 1 or higher. Its what I would try, but again not definitely sure it will
work.

Hi,
This is basic stuff. Try using type=button for all buttons except the one
you want to submit automatically. Then use the onclick event and javascript
to handle those buttons.
