call function when enter button is clicked

[wrexhamafc234]

I have the following javascript function in a seperate javascript file (javascript.js). Javascript.js is attacked in the masterpage:

function IPressedEnterBasic()
{
 if(event.which || event.keyCode)
 {
  if ((event.which == 13) || (event.keyCode == 13)) 
  {
   var save= confirm("Do you want to save?");
   if (save == true)
    {
        document.getElementById("<%=SaveButton.ClientID%>").click();
    }
    else
    {
        return false; 
    }
  }
 } 
 else 
 {
  return true;
 }
}

This function is used when the return button is clicked on a textbox, I have added the following code to the page_load event on a aspx page:

Surname.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "return IPressedEnterBasic();");
Forename.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "return IPressedEnterBasic();");

However, when return is clicked on either of the above textboxes, the following button click is not executed.

protected void SaveButton_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
}

Any ideas where i could be going wrong?

AFAIK, you cannot reliably call "click" and hope for the onclick method to be called. You might be better off calling "onclick" instead, but I think you'd be better off calling the code that the onclick function calls.

Hope this helps,
