You can disable the enter key for the whole page:

<Script language=javascript>
document.onkeydown = doKey;

function doKey(e) {
if (event.keyCode==13)return false;
}
</script>

You can intercept the client side enter keypress event of the text box and
then do what you want using javascript code.
Here's a good example:

You could also try using this free control.
