Answer 1

You can use the onkeypress event and call a JS function where you can check whether the Enter key was hit, then set the url to Window.Location e.g.

<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" onkeypress="OpenURL();"></asp:TextBox>

function OpenURL()
{
if(window.event.keyCode == 13)
{
    window.location = document.getElementById('<%=TextBox1.ClientID %>').value;
}
}

**Edit:**After reading your comments, now I understand correctly what you are looking for; you can use the Iframe control of html http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_iframe.asp
