Enter key not working for Search Button

[MaryNET]

I'm getting this J.S. error when Enter is pressed for a Search.The page stays on the page it is on and doesn't perform a Search:

'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object

The Search works on FireFox. I found one difference:

FireFox view source:
onclick="if(Page_ClientValidate('Search')){window.location='/Search.aspx?

IE8:
onclick="if(Page_ClientValidate('Search')){window.location='/DCP3/Search.aspx?

The Search page is in the root folder. Can this be fixed?

Source code from Default.aspx(IE8) :

<input type="submit" name="ctl00$wpm$HomePage$ctl00$SearchButton" value="GO!"
onclick=
"if(Page_ClientValidate('Search')){window.location='/DCP3/Search.aspx?k='+encodeURIComponent(ctl00_wpm_HomePage_ctl00_SearchPhrase.value);}return false;
WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("ctl00$wpm$HomePage$ctl00$SearchButton", "", true, "Search", "", false, false))"
id="ctl00_wpm_HomePage_ctl00_SearchButton" />

Go the code for Page_ClientValidate ?

Thanks. Good idea, .. it's inside the button code:

<asp:Button ID="SearchButton"
OnClick="SearchButton_Click" CausesValidation="true" ValidationGroup="Search"
OnClientClick="
if(Page_ClientValidate('Search')){{window.location='{0}?k='+encodeURIComponent({1}.value);}}return false;" />

Is that a J.S. function or one that is included in the app?

I took Page_ClientValidate('. . . out and
it didn't do anything.

'document.getElementById(...)' is null or not an object

My guess is that the actual error (I'm guessing that "..." wasn't really the invalid ID) would point to an ID that doesn't exist. getElementById doesn't usually lie about such things, so perhaps you should check this.
