I have a form with a textbox and a button. IE is the only browser that will not submit the form when Enter is pressed (works in FF, Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc.). I found this javascript function to try to coax IE into behaving; but no avail:

function checkEnter(e){     var characterCode     if (e && e.which) {         e = e         characterCode = e.which     } else {         e = event         characterCode = e.keyCode     }     if (characterCode == 13) {         document.forms[0].submit()         return false     } else {         return true     } }

Implementation: 

searchbox.Attributes('OnKeyUp') = 'checkEnter(event)'

Any advice?

EDIT: This page on CodeProject outlines what Dillie was saying, and it works perfectly.

  1. The other thing I have done in the past is wrap the form area in a Panel and set the DefaultButton attribute to the submit button you have. This effectively maps the enter key to the submission as long as you have a form element in focus in the panel area.
