I have a web page that i am using an image button as my submit button. The
code behind the button works, but when I click enter on the web page,
nothing happens. Can anybody tell me how to get my image button to act as
the default button on the form?

Thanks in advance
Russell

You can intercept the client side enter keypress event of the text box and
then do what you want using javascript code.
Here's a good example:

You could also try using this free control.

And here's a couple good articles on the subject:

Russell,

I've had this problem before too and, to my knowledge at least, there is no
direct way to achieve this. Instead what I did was provide a handler for
the text box that handles the enter key. If the handler gets called, it
just forwards the processing to the image button's submit handler. This
solution isn't exactly the most elegant way, but it works.

It's very strange that in my project, they automatically act as a submit
button, so I have to add a (X,Y) = (0,0) checker in the click handler
routine just to skip when "enter" is pressed in the textbox.

Perheps there are more than one ImageButton in your form so the browser got
it mixed up.
