Post Back in 2.0

[roger31]

Hello - I created a simple website with one page. This simple page has only
one text box (asp:Textbox) and no other controls. When i bring the siteup in
VS2005 and press enter with the cursor inside the text box the page
refreshes. I am not able to understand why it is posting back? I have set
Autopostback to false. Am i missing anything or is it the default behavior?
Thanks

There was no way for you to know it, but this is a classic asp newsgroup.
While you may be lucky enough to find a dotnet-savvy person here who can
answer your question, you can eliminate the luck factor by posting your
question to a newsgroup where the dotnet-savvy people hang out. I suggest
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.aspnet.

However, this is a browser-related issue. Some browsers automatically submit
when the Enter key is pressed anywhere in the form. If you use the tab key
to move out of the textbox, the form will not submit unless you've set
auto-postback to true.

Please reply to the newsgroup. The email account listed in my From
