how to set default button on a page

[xren]

Hi

I have several buttons on a page. I would like to set one of them as the default button - when user press 'enter' the button is triggered as click button.

How can this be done?

Thank you,
Xiaoli

I do not think this can be changed. The first button will always be the default.

How is the button count as first or second button? Is because the position or control name?

Hi Xiaoli,

You can use JQuery to set the Enter Key button:

Code: Select all

<script>
$&#40;document&#41;.keypress&#40;function&#40;event&#41; &#123;
    var keycode = &#40;event.keyCode ? event.keyCode &#58; event.which&#41;;
    if&#40;keycode == '13'&#41; &#123;
        jQuery&#40;'#submit'&#41;.focus&#40;&#41;.click&#40;&#41;;
        return false;
    &#125;
&#125;&#41;;
</script>

Where there is a button on your page which has an ID of submit
And keycode 13 represents the Enter Key on Qwerty keyboard.

It is just the position on the page when output. The button should be output as an input with the attribute type='submit'

Wai's response might be what you need if you want to override the enter key.
