Proper postback when Enter Key is pressed

[Jim in Arizona]

I have a simple vb aspx page with a single text control and button
control. The user puts a date in the text field and pressed the button
and a gridview is filled with data. If I put in a date and just hit
enter, it looks like the page is posting back but nothing happens. I
don't know how to set the page to where if the user hits enter on the
keyboard, it is the same as clicking the button.

TIA,
Jim

I followed that link and ended up on this web page:

So, just adding this control solved the issue:

<asp:TextBox runat="server" style="visibility:hidden;display:none;" />

Thanks for the help.
