Can't set imagebutton to default button

[Bill Borg]

Hello all,

I have a standard-issue textbox to enter search words and an imagebutton to
execute the search. When they press enter in the textbox I want it to click
the button and run the server-side handler.

Based on code I've seen out here and other articles, I can do this if the
button is <input type=button>, by trapping the enter key in script and
calling myButton.onclick from the textbox.

But, I can't get this to work if the button is <input type=image>. I think
it has to do with default submit behavior, but I'm not seeing it. I'm
thinking too I might need to explicitly set the __eventtarget before the
submit, but that isn't working either. Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Bill

Are you using Server side button or Client side?
