user enter key to control my login form

[Grant Merwitz]

Hi

I am trying to get the enter key to submit my login form
The login form is currently in a control on the page and uses an
asp:imagebutton as it's login button.

If a user presses enter currently, the page just reloads.
I have tried to use some javascript to set the enter key on the button, but
this script only seems to work for an asp:button and not the
asp:imagebutton .
Any help on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

The javascript i am using currently is: (attached to the password textbox)
onkeydown="if (event.keyCode && event.keyCode == 13)
{document.Form1 .elements['Header1:AuthCo ntrol_Main1:Aut hControl_Login: imgLogIn'].click();return
false;} else return true; "
- This still refreshes the page when enter is click i.e. its not working

When i place a asp:button on the page that calls the same method as the
asp:imagebutton , this works fine
onkeydown="if (event.keyCode && event.keyCode == 13)
{document.Form1 .elements['Header1:AuthCo ntrol_Main1:Aut hControl_Login: Button1'].click();return
false;} else return true; "

HELP!!

TIA

Grant,

I've run into this bug before. Place a hidden html textbox somewhere in
the form.

<INPUT type="text" style="DISPLAY: none">

Then when you hit enter in the login field it should fire the login button's
click event.

From what I've read so far, you don't HAVE a problem. The ENTER key is
submitting the form. Of course, you don't need all that code to do it. The
ENTER key submits the form by default. The problem you stated was that you
wanted the ENTER key to submit the form.

I'm assuming you want to validate the user on an enter keypress and redirect
to an appropriate page based on the results. There is a difference between
submit in asp.net and submit in asp. It's a good idea to understand the
differences...

Anyway, put this jscript in the html:
<script language="javas cript">
function fnTrapKD(btn){
if (document.all) {
if (event.keyCode == 13) {
event.returnVal ue=false;
event.cancel = true;
btn.click();}}}
</script>

And plug this into Page_Load:
txPassword.Attr ibutes.Add("onk eydown", "fnTrapKD(docum ent.all." &
cmLogin.ClientI D & ")")

Hope this helps..

Michael,

Wouldn't that only work in Internet Explorer?
