Use following javascript

function fun1(e, button2){
      var evt = e ? e : window.event;
      var bt = document.getElementById(button2);
      if (bt){
          if (evt.keyCode == 13){
                bt.click();
                return false;
          }
      }
}
//And on the textbox 
TextBox1.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "return fun1(event,'" + Button1.ClientID + "')");
//Button1 is the button whose onclick you will call when enter is pressed on TextBox1

Use technical sounding title for your thread..

You could try using the "DefaultBut ton" property of a Panel...

Place your TextBox and your Button inside a Panel and then set the Panel's "DefaultBut ton" property to your button. Any time the user is within that panel and they hit the enter key that button will be used to submit the page.

For example:

[code=asp]
<asp:panel id="content" runat="server" DefaultButton=" myDefaultButton ">
<asp:TextBox id="myTextBox" runat="server"> </asp:TextBox>
<asp:button id="myDefaultBu tton" runat="server" text="default button" />
</asp:panel>[/code]

The button with the id of "myDefaultButto n" will be used to submit the page when the user is in the "content" panel.

I think there is a DefaultButton for the page or body as well....can't remember at this time though.
