Enter doesn't execute button.click
 

For some reason, when I am in the password text box, when I press enter, it simply clears both fields. Doesn't validate, doesn't login, just clears the fields. What is going on here?

Codebehind:

 

PrivateSub cmdLogin_ServerClick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles cmdLogin.ServerClick

If FormsAuthentication.Authenticate(txtUser.Text, txtPass.Text) Then

FormsAuthentication.RedirectFromLoginPage(txtUser.Text, chkPersist.Checked)

Else

lblStatus.Text = "Not Authenticated"

IfCInt(ViewState("Tries")) > 1 Then

Response.Redirect("Denied.aspx")

Else

' Otherwise, increment number of tries.

ViewState("Tries") = CInt(ViewState("Tries")) + 1

EndIf

EndIf

EndSub

And the aspx page is attached. Please help.

Is the viewstate enabled? Is the page properly posting back? Try putting in a Response.Write somewhere...

ok clicking on the actual button with the mouse WORKS, but when I hit enter and I'm in the password field, it just clears the form whats the deal? It should just login like when I click it, please help.


Thanks in advance,

Ah, well, when you hit enter, the button isn't a default button :-P. You'll either need to write some javascript here, or use the free MetaBuilder's DefaultButtons Control.

As always tekmaven you were helpful, that control is awesome. Where do you find out about all of them?

Just about every employee that works on .NET at Microsoft has blogs. Just get a good RSS agregator, and check them all. With a little time each day (okay, maybe a lot), I guaruntee you will learn a lot.

And, the thanks for the kind words. Don't forget to share that thought with the member rating system ("reputation").. ;) .
