change enter key to "Not Submit" form 4

[chilly442]

I have a web form with dropdown boxes that users select from. No matter where you are in the form, if the enter key is pressed, it takes the user back to the Login Screen. I just want the enter key to do nothing, and force the user to click the "Submit" button on the page.

I have tried to use some of the code that I found on line, but no success. I still end up back at the Login Screen.

Any ideas?
Help gets you stars!
Thanks,

I am not sure why it does that for me I have this code and when the user click the enter key it submits the form.

check if you code has this line and remove it form there
defaultbutton="btnSearch

<form id="form1" runat="server" defaultbutton="btnSearch">

That is not it. I don't have that line in my code.

Thanks for the post. Any other ideas?

Apart from the "Submit" button, do you have any other buttons on your page (for example a "Back" button)?

Chilly:
Did you ever get this to work?
I have exactly the same issue.
Thanks.

No other buttons. Just the "Submit" button. I have tried everything that I can find to solve this problem, and nothing has worked.

Looks like others are having the same issue.
Please guide us in the right direction.

Thanks,

A little more searching and I found this code:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex16/disableenter.htm

It causes the enter key to act like the Tab key, when you hit the enter key it advances to the next text box. It worked great for me. Hope it works for you.

After a bit more searching I found this:

TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onkeydown", "return (event.keyCode!=13);")

If placed in the PageLoad it takes care of my problem.

Thanks to all who tried to help.

Sorry it took so long to post this.

Thanks,
