jQuery and Clicking an ASP.NET Linkbutton

/ Published in: jQuery

This is a pretty standard jQuery method to listen for the enter key and simply "click" the button. However, if you are using a LinkButton this code will not work. The reason for this is that a LinkButton is rendered to the browser as an Anchor tag with a href property that contains a javascript action to trigger the postback. Click does nothing on the button as there is nothing for it to complete.

Copy this code and paste it in your HTML

$("#<%=txtPassword.ClientID %>").keydown(function(event) {
 
      if (event.keyCode == 13) {
 
          eval($("#<%=btnLogin.ClientID %>").attr('href'));
 
     }
 
  });
