Submit form when Enter is pressed

Question

I have an aspx page with many buttons and i have a search button whose event i want to be triggered when user press enter. How can i do this?

Solution 1

You set the forms default button:

<form id="Form1"
    defaultbutton="SubmitButton"
    runat="server">

Solution 2

Make it the default button of the form or panel.

Either one has a DefaultButton property that you can set to the wanted button.

But the form that i use is in the master page!

Try this Page.Form.DefaultButton = "Button1"

I'd recommend looking into this as well, "this.Form.DefaultButton = this.ibRecalc.UniqueID;" stackoverflow.com/questions/3614797/…

@dps comment works best when you have a master page that has its own form tags. You cannot put another form within a form.
