Hello,

What I want to do is something like this in an ASP.NET web form:

http://p2p.wrox.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=16472

However, mine is a little different. What I want to do is when the enter key is pressed in a textbox, I want a link to be clicked through javascript.

Any ideas? Is that clear?

Just make the javascript that is called:

document.location.href = "anotherpage.aspx";

It needs to generate server-side script... I should have clarified when I said earlier, that it needs to click a LinkButton.

I *think* you might be able to do something like this on the client side:

myLinkButton.click();

I know you can do this with a button, but I'm not positive about doing so with an <a> link.

Hello,

It seems a little weird. When I just do:

if ( event.keyCode == 13 ) {
    document.getElementById('lnkButton').click();
}

It doesn't work. However, when I do:

if ( event.keyCode == 13 ) {
    document.getElementById('lnkButton').click();
    if (document.getElementById('lnkButton') == null ) {
        alert("NULL");
    }
}

It works. It seems to be because of the alert. Something with the alert is causing it to work. I really don't want to do the alert, just in case for some reason it is null, and that message shows. Is there another way. If not, I can live with it.

I'm declaring an onKeyPress by:

txtDefSearchText.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress", "Search();")

In the Page_Load event. In addition, the above code is within the Search.

Hey,

Correction, the second one didn't work like it was yesterday... Although yesterday during testing when I popped up an alert, no matter if the linkbutton reference existed or not, the alert popped up and it committed the search. It seems like the alert gets it "over the hump" so to speak. Any ideas why?
