    Is there a way to ensure that WebForm_FireDefaultButton function is available?

    I want to programmatically force asp.net to include the WebForm_FireDefaultButton javascript.
    I'm looking something similar to the ClientScript.GetPostBackEventReference method, which ensures the __doPostBack javascript on the form.

    Actually I have a custom control that renders as a <div>.

    Now I want to add a DefaultButton property to it, just like a normal Panel control has.
    When we set the "DefaultButton" property of a Panel control, it automatically includes the javascript for "WebForm_FireDefaultButton", along with a call to that function:
    html Code:
    1. <div id="MyDiv"  onkeypress="javascript:return WebForm_FireDefaultButton(event, 'MyButton')">

    When I do the same thing in my custom control, it errors out with the message saying that WebForm_FireDefaultButton is not defined (which is obvious at present, because I don't know how to tell asp.net engine include it).

    So how do I make sure that it includes the javascript for "WebForm_FireDefaultButton" ?

    I don't want to hard-code the script in my control. I want it to include whatever way other asp.net controls like (Form, Panel etc.) do it.

    Anyone has any ideas about this?
