    Simulate linkbutton click on submit

    I have two sets of search criteria on my page.
    They are placed inside two DIV tags made visible/hidden by a client script.
    In each DIV tag I have a LinkButton that performs the search from each set.

    By using AJAX I get the resulting list expand and collapse without page
    reload.
    All work smoothly.

    But one user today complained that the submit behaviour doesn't work like
    before.
    When hitting the ENTER key the LinkButton is NOT fired making a new search
    based on the criteria. Instead the first node in the current repeater set is
    expanded.

    Can I decide that my LinkButton should be fired when the user is hitting his
    ENTER button?

      His problem may be that the focus has been set on the first item in the
      repeater. You can search for scripts that will allow you to set focus on
      ASP.Net objects. This would give you the ability to set focus on the enter
      button right away. It could also be that the user is tabbing around before
      getting to the linkbutton and thus has set the focus themselves on the first
      row without realizing it.

          Hello,

          Do you mean that when focus is on the LinkButton, press ENTER doesn't cause
          the LinkButton's Click event gets fired on server?

          If you mean that when the focus is in a INPUT field and you press ENTER,
          based on my test, the LinkButton will not be "clicked" when you press ENTER
          on a INPUT field, the form is submitted but the LinkButton is not clicked:

          <%@ Page Language="C#" %>

          <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
          "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dt d">

          <script runat="server">

          protected void LinkButton1_Cli ck(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
          MultiView1.Acti veViewIndex = 1;
          }

          protected void LinkButton2_Cli ck(object sender, EventArgs e)
          {
          MultiView1.Acti veViewIndex = 0;
          }
          </script>

          <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
          <head runat="server">
          <title>Untitl ed Page</title>
          </head>
          <body>
          <form id="form1" runat="server">
          <div>
          <asp:MultiVie w ActiveViewIndex =0 ID="MultiView1 " runat="server">
          <asp:View ID="View1" runat="server">
          View1<asp:TextB ox ID="TextBox1"
          runat="server"> </asp:TextBox>
          <asp:LinkButt on ID="LinkButton1 " runat="server"
          OnClick="LinkBu tton1_Click">Li nkButton</asp:LinkButton> </asp:View>
          <asp:View ID="View2" runat="server">
          View2<asp:TextB ox ID="TextBox2"
          runat="server"> </asp:TextBox>
          <asp:LinkButt on ID="LinkButton2 " runat="server"
          OnClick="LinkBu tton2_Click">Li nkButton</asp:LinkButton> </asp:View>
          </asp:MultiView>
          <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" /></div>
          </form>
          </body>
          </html>


          AJAX doesn't change much here: pressing ENTER will cause the form submit to
          server, but the LinkButton's click event isn't fired.
