Submit form by pressing the enter key

[arneweise77]

Hi, a simple question on how to submit a form with keydown event. I´ve tried a function with KeyPressOnEventArgs as one argument which it didn´t recognize. Do someone have a function that could help me with this problem?

thanx in andvance

I may be mistaken but you are trying to capture a event in the client - i think the only way you can do this is using javascript:

document.onkeypress=kpress;

function kpress(e){
key=(document.layers)?e.which:window.event.keyCode
if (key == 13){
alert('ENTER PRESSED');
}
}

The enter key "clicks" the first button in your code. That is the button that appears first in the code (not necessarily the first you see on the page).

See this post for more information on having multiple buttons able to accept the enter key as a submit.
