making sure <Enter> key always works???

VMI
If I'm in a multi-line textbox and I'm writing a postal address (ie. write
ist line and press <Enter>, write 2nd line and press <Enter>, etc...) how
can I make sure that the Enter key will always make the cursor jump to the
following line in the textbox? For some reason, and this happens everywhere
except on my development PC (and it's not consistent), if a user's writing a
line and presses the <Enter> key, the program interprets that as the user
pressing another button in the Form (instead of jumping to the next line of
the multi-line textbox). I think it has something to do with where the
focus is on the Form, but as long as the cursor's on the multi-line, an
<Enter> press always has to jump to the next line. How can i make sure that
always happens?

The worst part is that I can't debug it in my dev PC because it never
happens there.

Thanks.

Hello, I have been playing with various Googled solutions for capturing the <Enter> key to suppress form submission. My first question is whether anyone has a script that works in all common browsers? The script bellow is IE only. It fails FF 1.0 and NN 7. Also, if I can trap the keypress I would like to use it to tab to the next tabindex.

On my simple login-screen I have a 'username' and 'password' field and an imagebutton for the 'OK'. This used to work nicely so that when the user hit <Enter> from the password field, it invoked the VB code behind the image-button, and away he went. Suddenly this has stopped working like this. It still works if you use the mouse to click on the button, or first TAB to it, then click <Enter>. However, if you now hit <Enter> with the...

I'm using VS 2005 to develop an intranet asp.net web application and I get a weird situation. If I start out with any ASPX page that contains an ImageButton control followed by a TextBox control, everything works okay. I can press <ENTER> when the cursor is inside the text box and the page is running, and no events fire (this is what I expect). But as soon as I drop a second text box on the page (ie: after th first one) then pressing...

Hello, I have an application that works on a PPC 2003 device but causes a slight problem on a WM 5.0 device. These devices are equipt with barcode scanners. The problem that I am seeing is that on the WM 5.0 device, when I scan a barcode in a combo box, the list is automatically displayed hiding the text box below it. I have to click somewhere on the screen to close it. This does not happen on the PPC 2003 device. I have looked into the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
