enter Key to submit a query

[Dave]

I have a web page with a text box and a query box that submits a query to a
database that fills a datagrid.

I want the enter key to submit the query - sof far I haven't found a method
to it.

When i hit enter - it looks like focus is on the datagrid.

Hi Dave,


Thanks for posting in the community!
From your description, you had some entry fields on a webpage and a button
to submit the web form. Now you'd like set the button as a default button
so that when the user press "enter" key and one of the entry fields is on
focus, the button's click event will be fired, yes?
If there is anything I misunderstood, please feel free to let me know.

As for this question, here are several tech articles discussing on setting
a default button( be fired when "enter" key press) on a asp.net web form:

Also, here is one former post(the web link in google) which also contains
the solution to this problem:
