Hi JP,
This is normal behavior and there is a workaround. When there are text
boxes and buttons on a form, pressing enter while in a text box will
activate the first of the buttons in the sequence they are defined in the
HTML.
One solution is to place your preferred button first in the HTML and use
grid layout to display it where ever you want.
Another solution is to capture the enter key in the text box and redirect
its behavior. Here's a sample for doing this.
First, we need to add the keydown event to each text box. You can do this
in the code behind as follows:
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "return testForEnter()")
TextBox2.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "return testForEnter()")
End Sub
Next, we need client-side javascript to process the key down. Here is a
sample which causes the third image button to click rather than the first.
<script>
function testForEnter() {
if (event.keyCode == 13)
{
document.all("ImageButton3").click();
event.returnValue = false;
}
}
</script>
Setting the returnValue to false prevents the first button from also firing.
Does this answer your question?
Thank you, Mike
