Page.RegisterHiddenField("__EVENTTARGET", "Login1_btnSubmit");

You can intercept the client side enter keypress event of the text box and
then do what you want using javascript code.
Here's a good example:

You could also try using this free control.

And here's a couple good articles on the subject:

thanks for the reply but i had seen those earlier here are my scripts
on the page

but then i have to verify the EVENTTARGET value on reply, i don't
want to do that

what i was looking for is why won't my __EVENTTARGET fire with my
default value set in code ???
function document.onkeydown()
{

if(event.keyCode ==13){
event.returnvalue=false;
event.cancel =true;

var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("n etscape")

-1) {

theform = document.forms["Form1"];
}
else {
theform = document.Form1;
}
theform.submit();
}
}

function SetTarget(targetvalue){
var theform;
if (window.navigator.appName.toLowerCase().indexOf("n etscape") >
-1) {
theform = document.forms["Form1"];
}
else {
theform = document.Form1;
}
theform.__EVENTTARGET.value = targetvalue;
}
