Textbox OnEnter fires Button click

[Rolly Ferolino]

When pressing the Enter key on a textbox, the button click event is firing.
How can I prevent this from happening?

Hi Rolly,

Welcome to MSDN newsgroup.
Regarding on your description, the problem you met is due to a known issue
of the IE brower. When there are some entry fields and submit buttons on a
html page. If we hit "enter" key when the typing in the entry fields, the
page will always focus on the first submit button on that page and then
that submit is clicked and the page be submited. Here is a former thread
regarding on this problem, I've posted some workarounds there:

Also, there is an addtional means to do the trick, we can add a "hidden"
submit button which won't be submited forever at the beginning of the
<form> tag on that page, for example:

<form id="Form1" method="post" runat="server">

<input type="submit" style="WIDTH: 1px; HEIGHT: 1px" onclick="return
false">

<P>

<asp:TextBox id="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:TextBox id="TextBox2" runat="server"></asp:TextBox></P>
<P>
<asp:Button id="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button>
<asp:Button id="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button"></asp:Button></P>
</form>

This can also prevent the page from being auto submited when we hit "enter"
key .

HTH. Thanks,
