Stopping auto submit...

[Rob Lynch]

This one has me perplexed

from vs.net web app

add a new aspx pag
add 3 textbox's and a command butto
in the command buttons click event add response.write "button1 click

from any textbox press the enter ke
the Button1 Click event fire

add a new button, do nothing else except add respnse.write "buttonX click
it's click event might fire but it might be button1.. no real differences to the buttons properties but for some reason (that I can identify)

If anything I would prefer the Enter key to act as a tab key, the only cure I have found is to make the textbox a multiLine textbox. However, I would prefer not to do this, but I can't have someone submitting the form before all the textbox's have entrys (yes I know about fieldvalidators, I would just prefer not to have the it happen and or to have the page do something else

Thanks

Hi Rob,

I'm wondering if you're describing the bug discussed in this article?

Add this event to your text boxes onkeydown="javascript:testForEnter()"

add add this to your page.

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="javascript">
function testForEnter()
{
if (event.keyCode == 13)
{
event.cancelBubble = true;
event.returnValue = false;
}
}
</SCRIPT>

It sure sounds like exactly the same behavour that I have been seeing. It seems like the solution being proposed requires the use of fieldvalidators... There are a couple of fileds that are OK if they are blank, but I still don't want the enter to do the autosubmit

I am going with a combo of what vMike suggests (was doing something ike that and a programatic autotab - for the textbox's that are singleline..

Of course just squeltching the enter via event.returnvalue = false or multiline would be ok, I have decided I will also go the extra 1inch and add an auto tab

Thanks for the effort. I think you found the problem I was seeing

PS Was my other address a good one?

Sorry, no idea. MVPs don't have anything to do with Microsoft's MSDN Managed
