Mdespesse’s point in 17 makes this solution work perfectly in FF3. Thanks.

After some research, it seems that DOM specs stand that href attribute should be an URI and that to get the exact content of href, one should use :

eval(b.getAttribute('href'))

It seems that firefox 3 automatically htmlencode hrefs. So our :

javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOption[...]

becomes :

javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new%20WebForm_PostBackOption[...]

which obviously doesn’t work as expected.
To have it work again, change the end of addClickFunctionScript to :

eval(unescape(b.href));

Hi,

I have implemented this fix and it seems to be ok in most cases. However, if I have a form with asp.net validators then it only works once. e.g. Enter an invalid entry, press enter and the correct button is clicked. However, press enter again, and the wrong one is clicked!

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Simon.

Anyone know how to do it?

Hi guys i found solution finally.

Setting link button as Default button for FIREFOX as well as IE:
use this fallowing code–>

in .aspx file—————————

function clickButton(e,buttonid) {

    debugger;

    var bt = document.getElementById(buttonid);

    if (typeof(bt) == 'object') {

        if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Netscape") > -1) {

            if(e.keyCode == 13) {

                if (bt && typeof(bt.click) == 'undefined') {

                    bt.click =  addClickFunction1(bt);

                }

            }

        }

        if (navigator.appName.indexOf("Microsoft Internet Explorer") > -1) {

            if (event.keyCode == 13) {

                bt.click();

                return false;

            }

        }

    }

}

function addClickFunction1(bt) {

    debugger;

    var result = true;

    if (bt.onclick) result = bt.onclick();

    if (typeof(result) == 'undefined' || result) {

        eval(bt.href);

    }

}

————————-

in aspx.cs file (write code for the text boxes u required)

aspx.cs file(C#.net code)—>
in Page_Load Event

txtUserName.Attributes.Add("onkeypress", "javascript:return clickButton(event,'" + btnSearch.ClientID + "');");
