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:

Hello ,

I've had a post that discusses how to accomplish this on my website:

Sorry
I tried it but doesn't work

i'm being sent back to index.aspx ??? weird

so what i do know is

if(!Page.IsPostBack)
{
bla bla bla .....
Page.RegisterHiddenField("__EVENTTARGET","submit" );

this.txtSendTo.Attributes.Add("onFocus","javascrip t:SetTarget('submit');");
this.txtSubject.Attributes.Add("onFocus","javascri pt:SetTarget('submit');");
this.txtMessage.Attributes.Add("onFocus","javascri pt:SetTarget('notsubmit');");
}

if(Page.IsPostBack){
if(Page.Request.Form["__EVENTTARGET"].ToString().ToLower()=="submit"){
this.Send();
}
}

I know it's ugly but it works.

there has to be something not that ugly

have you checked out Scott's blog here:

That covers a few of them.

does anyone at microsoft know what is the problem with my pages ?

an other i noticed

i tried the following script :

function document.onkeydown(){
if(event.keycode==13){
event.returnvalue = false;
event.cancel=true;
//form.submit;
}
}

to block the postback to the page but it still posts back and i get
redirected to the index page

shouldn't this script prevent postback ??

thanks
