Answer 1

I had this kind of issue with FF3 and ASP.NET linkbuttons. This seems to be a bug with FF3 (not sure), but the script that fixed is given below:

var __defaultFired = false;

function WebForm_FireDefaultButton(event, target) {
    var element = event.target || event.srcElement;

    if (!__defaultFired && event.keyCode == 13 && !(element && (element.tagName.toLowerCase() == "textarea"))) {
        var defaultButton;

        if (__nonMSDOMBrowser)
            defaultButton = document.getElementById(target);
        else
            defaultButton = document.all[target];

        if (defaultButton) {
            if(typeof(defaultButton.click) != "undefined")
                defaultButton.click();
            else
                eval(unescape(defaultButton.href.replace("javascript:", "")));

            event.cancelBubble = true;

            if (event.stopPropagation) event.stopPropagation();
            return false;
        }
    }
    return true;
}

Keep it at the end of the page so that it overrides the WebForm_FireDefaultButton method rendered by ASP.NET.

The DefaultButton property is not supported for use with a LinkButton. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.panel.defaultbutton.aspx

The easiest solution is to include a dummy Button on your page with style="display:none", set that as the defaultbutton and give it the same event handlers as your LinkButton.

work only first time we press enter in textbox. After adding some text in textbox and then pressing enter ,default button will not fire.

Answer 4

My first Stack Overflow write, wow :-)

asp.net:

<asp:Panel runat="server" DefaultButton="lbHello">
    First name: <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtFirstName" />
    <asp:LinkButton ID="lbHello" Cssclass="button" runat="server" Text="Click me" OnClick="lbHello_Click" />
</asp:Panel>

js:

$(document).ready(function () { $('.button').eventClick(); });

$.fn.eventClick = function() {
    function eventClick(a) { 
            if (a && typeof (a.click) == 'undefined') {
                a.click = function () {
                    var result = true;
                    if (a.onclick) result = a.onclick();
                    if (typeof (result) == 'undefined' || result) {
                        eval(a.getAttribute('href'));
                    }
                }
            }
        }
        return eventClick($(this).get(0));
}

I think its very simple, just add onkeypress js event of textbox where post back is required.

txtUserName.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress", "javascript:if (event.keyCode == 13)
 __doPostBack('" + btnLogin.UniqueID + "','')");

hope this will be helpful.
