Multiple buttons from different ASP.NET controls

[Guest]

Hi

I have a web form that includes mutiple controls, each of which has its own submit button. Problem is, when I hit "enter" in any of the form fields, irregardless of which component it comes from, the first form button is ALWAYS activated

is there a way to control which form button has "precedence" on a WebForm page using server-side forms? Check it out at http://www.accessquery.com - go to the job search area, enter in your keywords and hit enter - it takes you to the websearch page b/c that form and button occur at the top of the index page and hence get priority. It SHOULD take you to the job search results page

I tried setting the tab index of that top image button to be 99, but that didn't have any affect. I also tried setting the focus on that button via javascript, but that only sometimes works (very weird

Thanks

There use to be a good description at this URL, but it doesn't seem to be
functioning.

(if you get into that above URL, please e-mail the page! (IE save as *.html,
then ship it to me)

These guys seem to have a better page, I think the javascript looks the
same:

Ahh, found it on archive.org, but my internet connection seems to be wacko.
