Enter Key

[Benjamin Smith]

I have a form a with two web control text boxes and one web control button.
When the focus is on any control and if the user hits the enter key all the
time it calls clicked event of the command button. That's what I wanted. It
works great for me.

In form b, I have 1 text box and two buttons. When i hit enter key I want to
call one of the buttons clicked event. How to do that ? Currently it is not
working that way. It is not trigging any of the buttons clicked event

It is a web based application (asp.net & vb.net) and I am using IE5+.

Thanks,

Benjamin

I agree that the default behavior is less than intuitive. You can take
control of the situation, however.

Here's a couple good articles on the subject:

Or you could use this free control.
