I have a simple form with one text box that pass data to SQL

  • 0

I have a simple form with one text box that pass data to SQL and I want it to submit when the user hits the enter key.

In Firefox, this works great. The user puts a number hits enter gets back the results.

However in IE 8 and IE 9 this is not working.

<form id="form1" runat="server" accept="cmdclick" 
style="background-position: center; background-image: url('BG.gif'); background-repeat: no-repeat;">
<div style="text-align: center">
<br /><br /> <br /><br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />
    <asp:TextBox ID="txttrack" runat="server" Height="20px" 
        Width="175px" Wrap="False"></asp:TextBox>  
    <asp:Button ID="cmdclick" runat="server" 
        CommandName="cmdclick" BackColor="White" BorderStyle="None"  />

I am not sure what would cause this. I see a lot of people using JavaScript to go around the problem however I do not know how to write JavaScript code.

How can this be done (preferably without JavaScript)?

    Set the DefaultButton-Property in Form-Tag:

    <form defaultbutton="cmdclick" runat="server">

    You can also set the DefaultButton on ASP.NET-Panels. This might not be important in this case but

    • when you’re using MasterPages, because the ID of a Button in a ContentPage is unknown in a MasterPage (Form-Tag is inside the Masterpage)
    • when you want to have more than one DefaultButton you can set different DefaultButtons to every Panel
