Tab and Enter Navigation

[- Steve -]

I'm having troubles with controlling how users tab around my ASP.NET page.

I'd like users to be able to hit enter and have it click submit, tab and go
to the next textbox, etc. It usually works out okay, but sometimes Visual
Studio doesn't do it how I want it. Could someone point me to a tutorial on
the subject. Everything I found was about classes you could buy to help you
with it.

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.

And here's a couple good articles on the subject:
