How to set default 'enter' on a specific button

Question

ContentPage has a text box. When the user presses Enter in this text box, I try to launch the submit button on this ContentPage. I would like to disable this button event.

Instead, there is a search text box and a button at the top of the page from MasterPage, and this search button event fires.

How do I block this ContentPage submit button, and not the MasterPage search button?

I use Ektron CMS for content management.

Answer 1

The easiest way is to place the fields and button inside the panel and set the default button to the button that you want to activate when you type.

<asp:Panel ID="p" runat="server" DefaultButton="myButton"> <%-- Text boxes here --%> <asp:Button ID="myButton" runat="server" /> </asp:Panel> 

Answer 2

if you need to do this from code use

 Me.Form.DefaultButton = Me.btn.UniqueID 

Where btn is your button control.

Answer 3

You can use the DefaultButton property either on the form server or Panel . In your case, group the controls together in Panel , which should launch the same button:

 <asp:Panel ID="SearchBox" runat="server" DefaultButton="BtnSearch"> ... <asp:Button ID="BtnSearch" runat="server" Text="Search!" /> </asp:Panel> .... <asp:Panel ID="UserPanel" runat="server" DefaultButton="BtnUserSubmit"> ... <asp:Button ID="BtnUserSubmit" runat="server" Text="Submit" /> </asp:Panel> 

Answer 4

Now you can use the UseSubmitBehavior property to disable all the buttons that you do not want to launch when you click submit (see the documentation for more information)

  <asp:Button ID="BtnNotToFIre" runat="server" Text="Search" UseSubmitBehavior="false" />
