how to default to one of submit buttons when enter is pressed

[sandeepagarwals]

I have a HTML in which there are couple of textfields and multiple submit buttons. The problem is that i want to default to second submit button whenever a enter key is pressed in the textfield. As of now it always defaults to first submit button only.

Is there a way to get over this keeping all the buttons as submit button or what is the clean way of doing this?

Thanks,
Sandeep

I've not tested this, but try giving the second button a lower tabindex than the first.

Hope this helps,

I tried this but still does not work with tabindex too.

An easy fix would be to swap the order of the buttons around.

i cannot do that since the application demands them to be in the same order.

consider making all of your submit buttons regular buttons that call a javascript function which would submit the form. the one you want to be the default, make it a submit input, rather than a regular button input.

You could switch them on all pages.
