How to disable buttons get triggered with <Enter> on aspx-pages

I have a aspx-page with several textboxes and buttons. However, when the cursor is in a textbox, one of the buttons is still "in focus". So when I hit the Enter-key the button is pressed. What I want is to disable the ability to trigger buttons with the Enter-key, or at least when the cursor is in a textbox.

To stop form submission on Enter key, add next code in Page or MasterPage:

<script type="text/javascript">        
        document.onkeypress = function(evt) {
            var evt = (evt) ? evt : ((event) ? event : null);
            var node = (evt.target) ? evt.target : ((evt.srcElement) ? evt.srcElement : null);
            if ((evt.keyCode == 13) && (node.type == "text")) { return false; }
        };
</script>

The solution for me was this:

TextBox.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "return event.keyCode!=13");

on every textboxs and radiobuttons to prevent the enter key to submit the form.

You can try Button.UseSubmitBehavior, or disable the submit of the form using Javascript.

Set of the focus on the textbox where the curson is when the page is loaded - window.onLoad() method.

If its the only submit button in you form then it will be triggered automatically when you press enter. To disable it , you have to mark its as disabled.
