Disable default button in ASP.NET

ASP.NET Canceling the Default Submit Button

I have only 1 button in my ASP.NET page but when I click "Enter" key the button click function is talking place. I don't want that. Only manual click must work. How to make this?

If the .NET way suggested in the accepted answer of the above question fails, you can use the JS way suggested in [Robert's answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1473388/asp-net-canceling-the-default-submit-button/1473463#1473463) — Shadow The GPT Wizard, Sep 26 '11 at 13:25

I guess this is the direct way to change the button default behavior. – Issa Qandil Sep 26 '11 at 13:30

<body onkeypress="return CancelReturnKey();">

  <script type="text/javascript">
        function CancelReturnKey() {
            if (window.event.keyCode == 13)
                return false;
        }
    </script>

Yes that's true no need to add some JS for your page just change the default behavior for that button ;) – Issa Qandil Sep 26 '11 at 13:31
But finally your code only worked for me... Thanks a lot. :) – Mal Sep 26 '11 at 13:38
and, what if you have a multiline textbox ? you are blocking the new line key! – Daniel Hermosel Jun 24 '19 at 09:16
