Make ENTER key submit form - NOT WORKING?

Hello,

How do I make ENTER key act as a submit request?

As it is now, the user has to actually click "submit" for the form to
be submitted (in IE at least).

Is there any way to make the enter key submit the form?
Example:

Thanks!

In all browsers, when you have focus on any of the elements within the
form, when the 'enter' key is pressed, by default will submit the form.

I have a form I want to submit to itself. I want to be able to type in a list of numbers and submit the form and have that list show up on the same form under the text box I typed them into and the buttons. The problem is when I post a form to itself, the Enter key will not submit the form, it only clears the contents of the text box. The only way I can submit is to click the submit button. Here is a simplified version of my code that I...

Hi, I just thought I'd post this since I didn't see anyone else doing it this way. I wanted to be able to force the enter key to submit the form without manually changing the html form, In my custom base page class I added a generic method I can call to handle the user pressing the enter key when I want it to submit the form. This sets the destination button on a for the entire form rather than on a field-by-field basis; i.e. it's not...

Hi I am trying to get the enter key to submit my login form The login form is currently in a control on the page and uses an asp:imagebutton as it's login button. If a user presses enter currently, the page just reloads. I have tried to use some javascript to set the enter key on the button, but this script only seems to work for an asp:button and not the asp:imagebutton.

I have a web form that is a child of a Master Page. It is a login form for forms authentication. When you fill in the username and password box and press ENTER it doesnt process any of the VB.NET code it sits there doing nothing. I've tried some of the solutions on the internet but they don't work - I think it might have something to do with the fact I'm using a Master Page...? PLEASE HELP! This is driving me nuts!!

hi, I have got a simple way to make "textarea" support "auto-submit" when pressing Ctrl+Enter, and tested under both IE and Firefox. The common old method is like this: <form name=form2> <textarea onkeydown='if(event.keyCode==13 && event.ctrlKey) return document.form2.submit()'> </textarea> </form>

I can't make this script work properly. I've gone as far as I can with it and the rest is out of my ability. I can do some html editing but I'm lost in the Java world. The script at the bottom of the html page controls the form fields that are required. It doesn't function like it's supposed to and I can leave all the fields blank and it still submits the form. Also I can't get it to transfer the file in the upload section. The file name...
