The nature of ASP.Net controls is to generate a postback when the return key
is pressed. You might want to
simply suppress this action using client-side JavaScript to check for the
return key. The following code will
accomplish this for you:
<!-- Begin
function onKeyPress () {
var e = window.event;
if(e.srcElement && e.srcElement.rows && e.srcElement.cols)
// textarea e.g multiline textbox
return true;
return (e.keyCode != 13);
}
document.onkeypress = onKeyPress;
End -->

True, False.
Is there any server-side event I can catch when the user
simply submits the form in a situation like the one I
described? (basically, imagine an input field with a
submit button that is an image and NOT a "regular"
Button). The onclick@server is not ran.
The Grid is being binded to a SqlDataReader, not a DataSet,
so I have to rebind when the user navigates in the pages.
