Re: Form.DefaultButton stopped working in firefox

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

hi guys,
many thanks for the detailed replies.
i was a bit thrown because i read in the HtmlForm.DefaultButton property in the docs that "If you are using master pages in your application and you are setting the DefaultButton property from a content page, use the UniqueID property of the IButtonControl button", and assumed this would also work for normal pages. i re-read it now and it does clearly say to use the ID property first, so my bad, but it is slightly annoying that the behaviour changes for master pages or normal pages, particularly because we can't use the declarative syntax for child pages since the form tag is in the master page.

thanks anyway, i can live with it!

Thanks for Jason's informative input.

Hi Tim,

As Jason has suggested, for the Form.DefaultButton and Form.DefaultFocus
setting code, there are two places you need change:

1. You need to put the code that configure the HtmlForm.DefaultFocus and
DefaultButton in every reques(no only the initial request)

2. You should use "ID" property rather than "ClientID" or "uniqueID".
Actually, for server-side processing, generally we only need to use
Control's ID(the other twos are mostly used for client-side processing).

Here is the modified codebehind code snippet I've used correctly on my
side(win XP sp2, ie7 and ff2.0):

=====================

public partial class nav_NavButtonPage : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{

Page.Form.DefaultButton = btnSelect.ID;
Page.Form.DefaultFocus = txtID.ID;


}
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("BOGUS BUTTON");

}
protected void btnSelect_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Response.Write("SUBMIT BUTTON");
}
}

===========================

Hope this also helps.

Sincerely,

Steven Cheng
