Auto submit when pressing enter

Hi,

We have a internal site using Master Pages that has a header (web user
control) on top of every page with a search feature. This search is
basically a textbox and a search button beside it which works when you
click on the submit button. Is it possible to change it so that it's
automatically submitted when you click enter in the textbox?

Thanks
M.

In ASP.NET 2.0 the panel control has a new DefaultButton property.
Set this property to the ID of a button control and it will be the default
button when focus is in that panel. So the enter key would work as you
desire.

I hope this helps,

All articles and tutorials I've seen on subject of forms say that if there's name and value for submit button(input tag with type="submit"), they'll get submitted along with the rest of the form... but I've just noticed (after debugging my perl script for quite a while :/ ) that it is true only when user clicks on submit, and if form is submitted via hitting enter you don't get name=value for submit buttton...

I have a form I want to submit to itself. I want to be able to type in a list of numbers and submit the form and have that list show up on the same form under the text box I typed them into and the buttons. The problem is when I post a form to itself, the Enter key will not submit the form, it only clears the contents of the text box. The only way I can submit is to click the submit button. Here is a simplified version of my code that I...

When the user type something in text box, and press enter, it will submit the form data to test2.jsp, even without pressing submit form button. This is not what I want, I want to submit the form only when the user press the submit button. Any workarounds? Please advise. thanks!! <script type="text/javascript">

Hi, For a web page, I want a SUBMIT button that commits the form data and a CANCEL button that goes to a different target (i.e. a different script). I haven't figured out how to do this, because the <FORM ACTION="... tag seems to make sure that any two submit controls in a form have to go to the same target. BTW, the CANCEL button does not have to submit any form data.

Who knows how to prevent submitting a form on the press Enter button before all fields on the form are filled up. People just enter the first field hit Enter and it submits the form and doing validation, of course flushing with the bunch of messages because rest of the fields are empty. I remember I had some pages where wrote the code to go on the next field when pressed the Enter button (Tab like), because it didn't go anywhere at all....

Hi! Here's my situation: I have one textfield with one 'submit' button in PAGE1.PHP. When I click on the 'submit' button I am sent to PAGE2.PHP where I have a "switch" routine that checks which 'submit' button was clicked and directs which instructions to do next. My Problem is this: On PAGE1.PHP, there is only one textfield. After filling in the textfield, most of the time people press the 'ENTER KEY' instead of clicking the submit...

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,...
