Enter in textbox causes bad postback

Hello,
I can briefly explain without providing any code, it's a simple NET 1.1 web
project.

I have a web form with a textbox A and button A (in a table row), and
textbox B and button B (in a second table row). The textboxes are of type
asp:Textbox and buttons are asp:Button. Autopostback=fa lse for textboxes.
Click event used for the buttons.

When user types in text in textbox B and hits Enter, the click event for
button A fires!!! Why, what is causing this to happen? I would like some
way to make button B fire instead, so I set the tabindex attributes on each
of the 4 controls above to try and provide that functionality but it didn't
work. the event for button A always fires when I ht enter.

When I added textbox C and button C, etc... the same darn thing!!! How can
I at least turn off this behavior so that when Enter is hit no postback
occurs? I set autopostback to false for the textboxes but this didn't do
anything.

Thanks in advance- Hedge

I have a web form that is a child of a Master Page. It is a login form for forms authentication. When you fill in the username and password box and press ENTER it doesnt process any of the VB.NET code it sits there doing nothing. I've tried some of the solutions on the internet but they don't work - I think it might have something to do with the fact I'm using a Master Page...? PLEASE HELP! This is driving me nuts!!

I have a home page with username and password textboxes and a login button for purposes of users being able to log in (forms authentication) directly on the site home page. I also have a dedicated "Login.aspx" page, but I don't want users redirected there unless absolutely necessary. I have registered a javascript block via "Page.RegisterStartupScript" that sets focus to the "txtUserName" textbox control on Page Load. It works great...

Hello All, I have an ASP.NET page with one Textbox (SearchTextBox) and one ImageButton (SearchButton) server controls. The user can type search text in SearchTextBox and click SearchButton and the web server performs a database query and displays the results. All of this works fine. I want the user to be able to press the Enter key while the cursor is still in SearchTextBox and have the SearchButton.Click event fire (thus performing...

I have noticed that if a user closes a form via pressing return (either while the OK button has focus or if AcceptButton is set to OK for the form) then the "ENTER" keypress event fires ON THE CALLING FORM! This is very bad for me, because in my application, Form1 responds to an ENTER keypress by calling Form2. If the user closes Form2 via an ENTER, then Form1 just reopens it again, kind of trapping the user in Form2 (they can still close...

I'm using VS 2005 to develop an intranet asp.net web application and I get a weird situation. If I start out with any ASPX page that contains an ImageButton control followed by a TextBox control, everything works okay. I can press <ENTER> when the cursor is inside the text box and the page is running, and no events fire (this is what I expect). But as soon as I drop a second text box on the page (ie: after th first one) then pressing...

Hello, and thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Each line in our datagrid control contains a product number, description, and a textbox for the user to enter a quantity-to-order.

Sometimes users return to a previous page, by clicking the Previous button, and see quantities that they did not enter. More often, users return to a...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
