Textarea, form submit on return key

Hi,

Something is causing the form to be submitted whenever I hit the
return-key. Normally I wouldn't bother, but it also happens when I'm
typing in a textarea-control, which makes it impossible to fill in
multiple lines...

Where to look?

Thanks!Sjaakie schreef:

It might be helpfull to know that the textarea is a multiline
textbox-control.

Cheers
Sjaakie, i tried a small sample but I can't reproduce the behavior!, can you
post some code?

Jose,
I tried to cancel this posting, but apparently it was already replicated
to other servers.

It turned out it was just me being stupid. I was confident I had set the
property 'Multiline', but I didn't ... so it behaved as a regular textbox.

Thanks for your support anyway.

Cheers,
Sjaak

textBox

in C# for asp. i have a textbox, and at the point of doing an INSERT to my
table, it is cutting it off at the point where end users press Return (the
next line).

in other words, in a multiline textbox which allows up to 4000 characters,
if the end users presses a key to go to the next line it doesn't add the next
line to sql?

stringbuilder has my comments something like:
string myComments = "123456789 are my numbers/nBut here the line is broken"
/n is where it stops. i'm sure doing a replace for this will fix it, but is
there a better way?How do you know it is cutting off your string? Are you looking at in in
Enterprise Manager or when your content renders?

Both.

In enterprise Mgr. i only get the first 16 characters. I did two changes
and it fixed it, i had the field type set as text with the default of 16.
that might of caused it, but I doubt it since it only had 4 characters at one
point.

it's corrected now, I changed the field to nvarchar from text in sql, and
with a stringbuilder used something like: strInput = Replace("\n", (" ")
and did another for the "\r". All is well.

TextBox and Button

Hey guys...
In my aspx page I have a textbox that when the user press Return I need to
click a button. How can I do it?
OR
All the pages that contains buttons have a default button, but I don't know
how to define the default button. If I do it, my problem will be solved.

.....
But when I press Enter, I receive this error:
Object doesn't suport this property or method.
WHY'? What I'm doing wrong?

Andre,
The code Ken gave you will work, but event.KeyCode will only work for IE and
not netscape. If you want to, I have a bunch of useful javascripts all
rolled into a single component on my website, www.aboutfortunate.com. Click
the code library link on the top right of the page and then click the
javascript button in the menu on the left.
All code on my site is free and the full .NET v1.1 project is downloadable.
So even if you don't want to use the object as is you can get some decent
code examples from it.
