Force Button Click by Pressing Enter Key

Sometimes, you will notice, that, in an ASP.Net form, depending on the circumstances, pressing the ‘Enter’ key to submit the form does not work.

To force this to happen for a particular button on your page, just put this in the Page_Load routine:

Page.RegisterHiddenField(“__EVENTTARGET”, “button1″)

Then, change ‘button1′ to the ID of your particular button. Understand, of course, if your cursor is inside of a MultiLine textbox, the default action of the enter key is to create a new line in the textbox, so, if this basically works anywhere outside of that scenario.
