Default Button: RegisterHiddenF ield

John Smith

I am having a brain fart today....

How do you set a default button within a User Control? I am using
"Page.RegisterH iddenField("__E VENTTARGET", "btnSubmit" )" but it does not
seem to be working for me.

I have another User Control which uses this technique and works. Can't
think of what I am missing?

Check the name of the Button through the Html Source (in IE)
When you register a control on your page, it renames your controls with
[ControlTagName]_[IDYOUSET]
you can pick this up by viewing source from IE, and viewing the now changed
ID of your button 'btnsubmit'

to fix this, just change your javascript with the new id
"Page.RegisterH iddenField("__E VENTTARGET", "[TAGNAME]_btnSubmit")"
Bearing in mind for this solution, you'll need to give the control the same
tagname wherever you use it - unless the javascript is in the page and not
the control

Default button setup

by: tshad | last post by:

I have 3 objects on my page (textbox,button and linkbutton) When I put something in my textbox and hit "enter", the page gets posted, but nothing happens. I don't go to either of the functions that both buttons are set up for. If I push the buttons directly, it works fine. The Button is the first button on the page and the one I want to be default. Is there something I have to do to make it a default button?

I have a simple form that has two submit buttons on it.
