Re: Choosing whitch button will act as submit button

Use the script exactly as supplied for the browser. You don't want to use
VBScript on the client side, JavaScript is the universal way. Server code
cannot decide which button should be the submit since this is controlled by
the browser itself and the browser has it's own way of determining which
should be the submit, usually the first button that can postback that exists
within the forms control hierarchy.

All right, I give in. Although I think it is kind of stupid that the
server-code cannot decide whitch button should be the submit button. I
even tried to tingle with the tabindex. I mean, on the form_load it should
be easy enough to state this.

But since I am fairly new to client scripting I couldn't make that work
either. I tried something like this:
<script language =vbscript>
Sub Search

if window.event.keyCode=13 then

event.returnvalue=False

event.cancel=True

endif

end sub

</script>

I only get a page error.

This needs to be done on the client side using script langauge. You need
to trap the onkeydown event of the body tag.

Yes, I have been thinking of trapping the enter key (ascii 13), but this
has to be done in the asp:textbox (I think), and I am not sure how to do
this. Maybe in a page event, but which?
I using VB, so I would be grateful for any code example in VB.

Yes, This will prevent any enter key submiting. However, you can extend
this to allow the one you want to submit.

Hello.

There maybe an simple answer to this, but sometimes one get a strange
blindness when working intensely on one single problem.

I'm using ASP.NET 2003, building pages that include 3 user controls
(banner, top-menu and sub-menu). The top-menu contains like five
asp:buttons.

Further down the form there is search field with another asp:button.
And I naturally want this button to act as submit button in the sense
that when the user push the [enter] button in the search field. Well,
this doesn't happen. The first (left) button on the usercontol
top-menu fires, whitch brings the user to completely different page
(whitch is the intention when the user actually clicks this button)

I have tried to add another form tag for this, but no thank you, only
one server side form tag, please!

I have tried various ugly workarounds, like passing session variables
so that the button in the top-menu actually clicks back on the other
button. No luck.

Anyone with an idea on how to pick whitch button that will act as
submit button, when usercontrols with buttons are included?

Thanks.


Regards
Bjorn
