So I have a page, it had multiple textboxes, linkbuttons, and buttons. Currently, a user clicks a linkbutton “Edit” which allows them to enter data in that row, via textboxes. However, upon pressing enter, the event for one of the buttons fired…this is not desired at all. Apparently, this is the default behavior built in?

Is it possible to associate each textbox so that pressing enter will act on a specific assigned linkbutton or button, without the textboxes being in separate forms?

If this is not possible, I’m going to try and create a button and make it the default form button, but disable and hide it, so that pressing enter submits nothing.

Thanks!

    You can set the UseSubmitBehavior property to “false” on a Button control. This will cause the button to be rendered as an <input type="button" /> tag instead of an <input type="submit" /> tag. As a result, pressing the Enter key will not cause the button to be pressed, unless the button actually has the focus.

    <asp:Button runat="server" UseSubmitBehavior="false" ... />
