Enter Key to Post forms?

**stevemonty** · 08-31-2005, 07:05 AM

Hi

how do I get the Enter key by default to post the form?

Because now in .NET there is so much form submitting, how do you set a default action to hitting the Enter key?

Regards

Steve

In <body>,

onkeypress='if(window.event.keyCode==13){ event.returnValue=false;event.cancel = true;}

In Search Textbox,

onKeyDown="KeyDownHandler(BtnSearch)"

function KeyDownHandler(btn){
// process only the Enter key
if (event.keyCode == 13)
{
// cancel the default submit
event.returnValue=false;
event.cancel = true;
// submit the form by programmatically clicking the specified button
btn.click();
}
}

I hope you can got some ideas if you change somethings in my code....
