Setting the default button

hi,

i have a webform, which has a couple of formfields including a couple of buttons too.

the webform structure is
textbox1
button1
button2
textbox2
button3 - submit

How do i trap when the focus on textbox2 , so i could set the enable property of button1 and button2 to be false, so the Submit would work, when the Enter Key is pressed.

Any suggestion is welcomed and appreciated.

You can intercept the client side enter keypress event of the text box and then click the correct button using javascript code.
Here's a good example:

You could also try using this free control.

And here's a good article on the subject:

I have a simple form that has two submit buttons on it. The problem I have is that I want one button to be the default button when the user is filling out one section of the form and another button to be the default when filling out a different art of the form. I can't seem to find a way of stopping the first button on the form begin selected. I know there is a way to do this in ASP.NET 2.0 but I can't seem to find one in ASP.NET 1.0
