    Hi folks, how do you get a link button to submit like a normal button i.e when a user hits the enter key on a keyboard?

    A link button is nothing more than a hyperlink with a JavaScript handler.  Use  developer tools to look at the source code generated by the LinkButton service control.  Then simply subscribe to a button press and invoke the same JavaScript code that the Linkbutton uses.

    Edit: 13 is the enter button value.

    Hi brucey,

    Hi folks, how do you get a link button to submit like a normal button i.e when a user hits the enter key on a keyboard?

    As far as I know, you could set HtmlForm.DefaultButton Property in form tag.

    HtmlForm.DefaultButton Property:

    Gets or sets the child control of the HtmlForm control that causes postback when the ENTER key is pressed.

    More details, you could refer to follow link and codes:

        <form id="form1" runat="server" defaultbutton="LinkButton1">
    <div>
        <asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server" OnClick="LinkButton1_Click">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>
    </div>
    </form>

    Code-behind:

            protected void LinkButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Response.Write("111111111");
        }

    Link:https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.htmlcontrols.htmlform.defaultbutton(v=vs.110).aspx

    Notice:Specifying a LinkButton control as a default button. Only Button and ImageButton controls are supported.

    Best Regards,

    Brando
