Claudio, have a look at Andy Smith's free DefaultButtons control at

  http://www.metabuilders.com/Tools/DefaultButtons.aspx

It makes it easy to assign the <enter> keypress to a control that has 
the
focus.

While you're there, look around for some other fine controls, all at the
same low price (free).

Hi,

I saw Piyush message below and it helped me a lot. Thanks.

However, in my case, the event I would like to use is the pressing of a
key on the keyboard. So suppose the user enter some text on a text box.
When he presses the enter key, I would like to call a javascript 
function.

In your example you show us how to achieve that with an <asp:LinkButton 
>.
How can I do the same with the enter key??

Cheers,

Claudio


> Hi,
I understand, You won't be able to directly call a client side function 
on a
Server side event.
Instead it can be done like this:
            <script language=3D"javascript">
                  <!--//
                  function OpenWindow(psUrl)
                  {
                        window.open(psUrl);
                  }
                  //-->
            </script>
<asp:LinkButton id=3D"LinkButton1" style=3D"Z-INDEX: 110; LEFT: 559px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 111px" 
runat=3D"server">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>

Adding this line in Page_load function will tie the function name to the
onclick event in html rendered in browser:

LinkButton1.Attributes.Add("onclick","ClientSideFunc()");

I hope this helps,
