My site's login page has a form w/ 2 textboxes and a submit button. If I'm
in either of those textboxes (i.e., either one of the textboxes has focus),
in any given browser, hitting "enter" on my keyboard submits the form.
Server side, I handle the click event of the submit button. This is the
expected behavior, and this is the behavior irrespective of what browser I
use on the login page. However...
I have different page that is an email submittal form. It has just 1
textbox and a submit button. On this page, and only when using IE 6.0,
there is a server-side difference between hitting "enter" as opposed to
physically clicking the submit button on the client. The difference being
that if "enter" is used to submit the form, the page performs a postback
(ispostback = true), but the click event of the button never fires. On the
other hand, if the button is physically clicked on the client, again
ispostback=true but now the click event _does_ fire. This is not the
behavior I was expecting - I expected identical behavior as to my login
form, where the method of submittal on the client is transparent to the
server, which should simply believe that submit button was "clicked".
With other browsers (NN 7.2, FF 1.0, Opera) you can hit "enter" or
physically click and there is no difference server side (the click event
fires either way).
I have gone over the code with a fine toothed comb and cannot find any
relevant difference between my login form and my email form that would cause
this behavior (in fact I was not even aware this behavior was possible). Is
this a known issue of any kind? What exactly should I be looking for here?

I agree that the default behavior is less than intuitive. You can take
control of the situation, however, using client side script.
Here's a couple good articles on the subject: http://www.allasp.net/enterkey.aspx http://www.aspnetpro.com/features/20...200406so_f.asp
Or you could just use this free control. http://www.metabuilders.com/tools/DefaultButtons.aspx

Hi I have one text field and one submit button. If I hit the submit
button with a mouse the key/value pair key are properly submitted.
However, if I just hit the enter key the page does get submitted
however without the key/value pair of the submit button. I would
accept that a user must click the button to submit the pair, but none
of my other pages require that. It seems if I just hit the enter key
it defaults to hitting the submit...

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.
