Responding to Enter keypress event

[wbehning]

This may seem like a dumb question, but what causes the command contol's click method to fire when pressing the enter key while on a html text box control.

I have an mobile application, using the Mobile Web Form controls. This form has several HTML Text Field controls. If the Enter key is pressed while one of these controls has the focus, the command contol's Click method runs. I would like to be able to control this, but I am having no luck in figuring this out.

Also, if there are multiple Command controls on a Mobile Web Form, is there a way to control which Command control's Click method fires?

i use this javascript...

function setEnterKey(btnName) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
 event.cancelBubble = true;
 event.returnValue = false;
 document.getElementById(btnName).click();
}
}

then this within .NEt to say, when i'm in this textbox, here's what button the Enter key should execute...

Me.txtSearch.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "setEnterKey('btnSearch');")

"...we both know I'm training to become a cagefighter...see what happens if you try 'n hit me..."

Another alternative is to use:

Page.RegisterHiddenField("__EVENTTARGET", "btnSearch")
