I've working with ASP.NET, and I've got two separate buttons that I want to submit when the user hits Enter. ........[search text] [Search] ... ... ...UserName: blahblahblah ...Password: blahblahblahblah ...Confirm PW: blahblahblahblah ...Email: SomeEmail@somedomain.com ...[OK] If the user last gave the focus to the search text box, I want enter to click the Search button. If they last gave the focus to something in the new user section, I want enter to click the OK buton. How do I accomplish this?

You can use &#106avascript to simulate clicking on the correct button when they press enter in one of your controls. I like using <a href="http://jquery.com/">jQuery</a> for this kind of stuff, but there's plenty of options...

Look at the Panel control. () It has an attribute "DefaultButton" that you can set to the ID of a button. When the users presses the enter key within that panel the corresponding button is automatically "clicked".

i.e.

<asp:Panel ID="SearchPanel" DefaultButton="SearchButton" runat="server"><asp:TextBox ID="SearchTextBox" runat="server"/><asp:Button ID="SearchButton" runat="server"/></asp:Panel><asp:Panel ID="DetailsPanel" DefaultButton="OKButton" runat="server">...UserName: blahblahblah...Password: blahblahblahblah...Confirm PW: blahblahblahblah<asp:Button ID="OKButton" runat="server"></asp:Panel>

This is just off the top of my head and may have syntax errors but you get the idea.

Also: Panel control at MSDN
