Hello newbie here so sorry if this seems a bit remedial.

anyways, I have an input box that displays data once you push the little submit button, however if you put data in the input box and hit enter it comes up blank, I know this is because the user is not pushing the on submit button but I was wondering if there was a way to execute the querey from either clicking the submit button like it already does, but also if the user just hits enter I want it to submit the data into my querey and execute.

question 2.

Is there a way to format the datagrid based on the results of my querey ? Like if I enter something into my input box and the results of the querey match a certain parameter I want it to highlight or possibly change the background color of the grid that results ? I am able to do this in Crystal Reports so I figured it would be possible in this as well .

thanks,

T

Q1:
here's how i do this for asp.net server controls...

use javascript function...
Code: 
function setEnterKey(btnName) {
 if (event.keyCode == 13) {
   event.cancelBubble = true;
   event.returnValue = false;
   document.getElementById(btnName).click();
 }
}
and vb code...

Code: 
txtA.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "setEnterKey('btnA');")

Q2:

You can do conditional formatting based on things...usually I do this on the ItemDataBound event...you'd have to give more details to truly get a 'how to' response...

checkai,
Doesn't asp.net automatically submit the first asp:Button in a page when the Enter button is pressed?
Something I consider a bug myself.
I am assuming that techninut is using an html submit with no runat="server" and not an asp:Button.

In a javascript code block in the <head> tag just like you would do in HTML...

i usually put that in the page load...

Code: 
if not page.ispostback then
   'add attributes here...
end if

He's asking where to put the javascript code. If it isn't going to be dynamically created you may as well put in in the HTML as that is where it where it will be ran from.

Ok. I guess what I should be asking then is where in Visual studio can I view the html for my .aspx page ?
