Default submit buttons not getting focus when user clicks inside textbox.

[sirnose1]

I have a form with 2 text boxes and two submit buttons. When I click in textbox1, the focus needs to be set to button1 and with textbox2, the focus needs to be set to button2 as the submit keys. I have been through the forums and they all say that this should work, however its' not working for me. I can't see what I am doing wrong. Please advise. Thanks in advance.

<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent">
<aspanel ID="P1" runat="server" DefaultButton="Button1">
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" onclick="Button1_Click"
TabIndex="1" />
</aspanel>
<aspanel ID="P2" runat="server" DefaultButton= "Button2" >
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox2" runat="server" TabIndex="2"></asp:TextBox>
<asp:Button ID="Button2" runat="server" Text="Button" onclick="Button2_Click"
TabIndex="3" />
</aspanel>

</asp:Content>

There was nothing wrong. I assumed it didnt work because the button never got focus

You'll have to use JavaScript to shift focus from one control to another while it's on the client machine. The DefaultButton property indicates which button gets clicked when the Panel control has focus and the user presses the ENTER key, not the one that actually gets the focus.
