KeyPress 'Enter' fires Button_Clicked event

[wild_bill]

When I hit Enter anywhere on my page, one of my Button_click events fire. Where can I stop that from happening?

Internet Explorer assigns the first html input field with type submit (an Asp.Net button for example) to receive the Enter keypress on a webpage when in a field.

Put this into your declerations section of your page:

protected System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm Form1;

or for VB:
Protected WithEvents Form1 As System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlForm

Put this into your Page_Load handler:

c#

if (!(Page.IsPostBack))
			{
				Page.RegisterStartupScript("blockEnter",
					"<script type=\"text/javascript\">function inspectEvent(evt){if (evt.keyCode == 13)return false;}</script>");
				Form1.Attributes.Add("onkeypress","return inspectEvent(event)");
			}

Vb

If Not Page.IsPostBack
                Page.RegisterStartupScript("blockEnter", _ 
                 "<script type=""text/javascript"">function inspectEvent(evt){if (evt.keyCode == 13)return false;}</script>")
                Form1.Attributes.Add("onkeypress","return inspectEvent(event)")
            End If
