Question

I have a simple form written in asp.net/C# and when trying to hit enter while in the form’s input box doesn’t submit the form for some reason. I had implemented a fix for a previous bug where pressing enter would merely refresh the page without submitting the form data but now pressing enter just does nothing, the fix is below:

<div style="display: none">
    <input type="text" name="hiddenText" />
</div>

anybody know about a fix for this or a workaround?

I’m assuming you have a button somewhere on your page, as well as an event handler for it.

Have you tried wrapping your form (with the button) inside a Panel control and setting the default button attribute?

i.e.

<asp:Panel id="pnlMyForm" runat="server" DefaultButton="btnMyButton">
<asp:textbox id="txtInput" runat="server" />
<asp:Button id="btnMyButton" text="Submit" runat="server" />
</asp:Panel>
