how to have return key cause postpack?

ChrisA

I want the Return Key to do a postback of an ASP.Net form. What's the
right way to set that up?? I don't want to interfere with the asp.net
framework.
I guess my options are to set the ACTION attribute or inject some
javascript.
This is under 1.2, not 2.0 yet.
Thanks

Add a hidden submit button:
<input type=submit style="display:none">
and make sure it is the first button on the form. Hitting Enter will have
the same effect as clicking this button. It will cause a postback.

Eliyahu,
Thanks for the reply. This does postback, but seems to be interpreted as
the click on the 1st Visible button on the form. The framework seems to be
searching for a good button to fire.
The solution was to use an ImageButton, with zero Width/Height, as the
first thing on the form.
