Control where 'Enter Button' takes you

Guest

Hi there..
I write in a textbox to search for something on my asp.net page and when i
click the enter button, i want the Find button to be activated..
instead, one of the other buttons is being pressed. I found this code but
it is not working... any ideas???

<body onkeydown="if(event.keyCode == 13)
{document.getElementById('myBtn').click();}">

Normally, when the controls rendered in the browser one of the control will
receive the default focus. Change this order and make your search button to
get the default focus, that's all..no need write any scripts..

Try returning false from the event.

if ( event.keyCode == 13 ) { document.all["myBtn"].click(); return false; }

See if that works.

What is it doing currently?
