please help----
how do i tie an asp button to the <enter> key ??

You have to use client side JavaScript for this.........

        <script language="javascript">
  function KeyDownHandler(btn)
  {
  // process only the Enter key
  if (event.keyCode == 13)
  {
  // cancel the default submit
  event.returnValue=false;
  event.cancel = true;
  // submit the form by programmatically clicking the specified button
  btn.click();
  }
  }
        </script>

Code for a control that refers the JavaScript
<asp:textbox id="txtWhID" onkeydown="KeyDownHandlerton(btnSearch)" Enabled="true" Width="80px" Runat="server"
EnableViewState="false"></asp:textbox>

Button Control used to tie to the <enter> key
<asp:button id="btnSearch" Width="108px" Runat="server" Height="24px" BackColor="#E0E0E0" Text="Search >>"
Font-Size="Smaller" BorderColor="" ToolTip="Click to Get the Receipts Requiring Reconciliation" CausesValidation="False">
