Enter causing postback even if no submit button is present

Question

I have a form in asp.net page. Whenever enter key is pressed the page is posted back.

I don't have any submit button in my form and using javascript to submit form.

        <div class="row-fluid" align="center">
            <a id="saveConfirm" class="textDecorationNone">
                <div class="btn btn-primary">
                    <i class="icon-ok icon-white"></i>&nbsp;Add
                </div>
            </a>
            &nbsp;
                <asp:LinkButton ID="btnCancel" runat="server" Text="Cancel" CssClass="btn" CausesValidation="false" OnClick="btnCancel_Click">
                <i class="icon-remove"></i>&nbsp;Cancel
                </asp:LinkButton>
        </div>


row('#saveConfirm').click(function (){
    //submit form
});

This can be addressed I believe with the accepted solution of the following post:

ASP.Net page enter key causing post back

Quoting:

You could set the DefaultButton on the Form or a Panel. This way you have full control what happens.
Set UseSubmitBehavior="False" on your Buttons. This disables the "AutoPostback" on Enter.

A possible javascript solution for ASP.NET is covered under this solution: Disable default button in ASP.NET [duplicate]
