I am not sure which is the default submit button for the page.You can control the default button in javascript.Check for the enter key press and raise the button click event.

So I Should Do Client Side Function On Each Element On The Page To Catch The Enter Event!!!!!!!!

I Don't Think That The Easiest Solution?

I believe that HTML makes the first button on the page the default button, so if you change the order of the buttons to the one you want to be the default it should work.

If you want to keep the order of the buttons the same, then I think you will have to do as Santhi says and write a function to help the page figure it out.

No No...not for all the elements...Check for the enter key and raise the click event of whatever the button u want as default.
