Pressing enter on the keyboard triggers the wrong event 2

[drew10]

I have a login form with 2 textboxes(1 for username, 1 for password) and a submit button. Also on the form, above the login I have an imagebutton. When the user enters their login information and hits enter on the keyboard, the event for the imagebutton is fired, not the submit button. What am I doing wrong here?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You aren't doing anything wrong. This is simply a capability that .Net doesn't support.

Any button you put on the page is treated like a submit button. This is needed to create the postback loop that Asp.net uses. Since you have more that one button the browser sees multiple submit buttons. Obviously only one can be fired on enter press. The browser chooses the first one on the page and fires that one.

Sorry I couldn't help, currently I haven't found a work around for this so you'll have to work around the problem. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Thanks,
That's what I figured. I've tried to implement an onkeyup javascript function that checks to see if the window.event.keyCode = 13 (the keyCode for the enter button), and then fire the event I want, but due to time restrictions, I gave up and moved the button further down on my page. Everything works fine now.

try this

in your text boxes:
onkeyPress="javascriptushIt(event);return true;"

in the .aspx file:

function PushIt(e){
if (e.keyCode == 13) {
document.formName.btnName.focus();
}
}

Zomb: Your solution works well from textbox to button_click on hitting the "Enter" button on the keyboard. Do you think you could use this technique for moving from textbox to textbox? Or are there restrictions or other limitations?
