I failed to mention that this is part of a control and the master page holds the form tag, so I cannot do that because I don't want the default button to be the same for every page that calls the master page. Also I am not using panels. Is there any other way?? TIA
Sincerely, Rick You need to set the defaultbutton property of the HTML form or panel.... <form id="form1" runat="server" defaultbutton="Button1"> <div> <asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server"></asp:TextBox> <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Button" OnClick="Button1_Click" /> </div> </form>
