I was thrilled to see this message thread about defaulting the ENTER key to the click event of a button. I however have 2 web forms that contain only 1 textbox each. This trick only works when a form is populated with more thatn 1 textbox. Are you aware of any technique for defaulting the ENTER keypress that works when a form only has 1 textbox.
Thanx,
Neil

>>Sorry seemed to skip that snippet of information ;-) However, the whole issue of focus on webforms is quite the can of worms. There are a number of solutions available all with various issues associated with them, but one works pretty much all of the time (except for a curious bug when there is only one textbox on a form?).
