Weird .NET gridview behaviour

dave82_2

Hi,

If I create a databound grid view with a footer containing a textbox and a button. The button has the attribute
CommandName="Add" set When I press enter in the textbox a postback occurs however the GridViews RowCommand event does not fire. If I add a second text box the RowCommand event does fire!

Anyone able to help?

Cheers Dave

So basically if I do this

<FooterTemplate> 
     <asp:TextBox ID="tbxQuantity" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
</FooterTemplate>

it doesn't fire the GridView RowCommand even when I press enter in the textbox

If I do this it does fire the GridView RowCommand event!!

[/SIZE]
<FooterTemplate> 
     <asp:TextBox ID="tbxQuantity" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
     <asp:TextBox ID="stupidfix" runat="server" style="display:none"></asp:TextBox>
</FooterTemplate>

Its a 'Feature' in asp.net webforms.

Beacuse asp.net webforms demands only 1 runat server form, it creates problems when you hit enter (ie does a form submit),and it normall tries work out what text box you pressed enter in.

When you only have a single textbox on the page, it automaticaly assumes that textbox was source and seems to bypass the control checking and doesn't do the correct postback.
