How to submit a form using the Enter key in asp.net

Question

I have 3 buttons in a form. One of them is the submit button. How can I make it the default button to be clicked when I press the enter key. Is there a property for this?

Answer 1

There is a property for the form: defaultbutton.

<form runat="server" defaultbutton="myButton">
...
</form>

It is first time implemented in ASP.NET 2.0.

Answer 2

Or you can do it in code - Page_load:

Page.Form.DefaultButton = btnSearch.UniqueID;

Whenever you press enter the btnSerach control will be used as default.

Answer 3

Another helpful tip is that you can set the default button on asp:panel's too.
