tabbing and loading tables when textbox key is pressed?!?!

Hi all,
Could someone please explain to me how i could load a different datagrid or
fill out all the textboxes with feilds from a database - once a user types a
character in a textbox.
I have the code for it, but my problem is that it doesn't work unless i
click on an empty button, just to reload the page...
also how would i control the direction of the tabbing on my ASP.Net webpage???
Thanks,
adam

You can cause the textbox to postback for the "onkeyup" event. This method
will fire everytime the user releases a key on the keyboard when the text
box has focus.

txtEntry.Attrib utes.Add( "onkeyup", this.GetPostBac kClientEvent( txtEntry,
"" ) );

You can then wire to the TextChanged event on the TextBox to ensure that the
postback was caused by the text changing and do you loading and datagrid
stuff.

Are you sure you just don't want to wire to the TextChanged event and turn
on AutoPostBack for the TextBox. This will cause a postback when the user
tabs out of the textbox and the text has changed. With the approach above,
if the user types "hello", there will be 5 postbacks of which the user will
probably only see the last one, depending on how fast your server is.

If you are running a query based on what they typed in, you might have 5
queries run, but only the last query is the one you want, thus increasing
load on your database.

HTH,

Playing with Prothon today, I am fascinated by the idea of eliminating classes in Python. I'm trying to figure out what fundamental benefit there is to having classes. Is all this complexity unecessary? Here is an example of a Python class with all three types of methods (instance, static, and class methods). # Example from Ch.23, p.381-2 of Learning Python, 2nd ed. class Multi:

Tabbing from the first control on a form always sends me to IE's Address Bar instead of the next control, no matter how I set the TabIndex property for the controls. Why is this happening? For example, I have a simple login screen with 2 textboxes (Login ID and Password) and 2 buttons (Login and Cancel). I've set the TabIndex Property of each control, starting at 0. When I enter a login id and then press Tab, the focus goes to IE's...

A dumb question: Exactly how does tabbing work in an ASP.NET form in the browser? Does it work the same was as a Windows Forms form does? I have a rather complicated ASP form (that consists of HTML tables, ASP text boxes, drop downs, data grids, etc)... and no matter how I set the TAB indexes, it never seems to work the way I want it to - sometimes tabbing all over the place! What am I doing wrong? Thanks for any input...

Have posted about this before without luck, maybe someone know a workaround. Using Framework 1.1 I have about 140 clients running my application, every day, some of them loosing the Tab key function in the forms, they also loosing the enter key functionallity. Instead of TAB and Enter the active button (what ever button that is for the moment) get pressed instead.

In Internet Explorer, for example, when you hit return in the address bar, the Go button is pressed. In my program, I have a toolstrip with a textbox and button. How do I ensure the button is 'clicked' when Enter is pressed in the text box. I can't set the form's AcceptButton property to the toolStripButton - it doesn't allow toolStripButtons to be set as the AcceptButton. As a last resort, I could create a keypress event handler for...
