    Change default postback url (.net 3.5)

    Hi peeps

    I'm trying to change the default postback of my webpage. I'm trying to
    create a searchbox where you can just press enter and it goes to the search
    results (ala apple.com *ahem* :o)

    However, the page just postsback to itself when I hit enter.

    Is there any way to change the default postback behaviour for a page?! I'm
    using .net 3.5

    Thanks,


    Dan

      Button.PostBack Url will do. You can also do it on server side with a
      Server.Transfer call. Or you can do it on client side with a javascript call
      window.navigate (url).

          Eliyahu,

          None of those solutions would work without either a button or a postback to
          the original page and then a forward (server.transfe r, etc) - am I correct?

          I've actually managed to solve it by adding my header *outside* of the form
          tag on my master page, and creating a standard html form with an action=""
          property.

          Works a treat, although I'm sure someone will tell me why it's a bad idea ;)

              Only Server.Transfer postbacks to the original page. Button.PostBack Url and
              window.navigate (url) don't.

              You solution takes the header out of asp.net. Not sure what do you gain by
              this comparing with just setting PostBackUrl.

                  RE: Change default postback url (.net 3.5)

                  not with a webform. as you found out, setting the postbackurl, just adds
                  javascript to the button. you have two options

                  1) the approach you found, do not put a runat=server on the form.

                  2) switch to the new MVC handler instead of using webforms. this gets around
                  all the limitations of web forms and is probably better suited to someone who
                  knows web technologies. if you want to go in an ajax direction, then I'd
                  really recommend the switch. the main downside is that MVC is still in beta.
