How to set a default ‘enter’ on a certain button

asp.netmaster-pages

There is a textbox on a ContentPage. When the user presses Enter in that textbox I am trying to fire a 'Submit' button on this ContentPage. I'd like to fire off that particular button's event.

Instead, there is a search textbox & button on the top of the page from a MasterPage, and this search button's event fires off.

How do I control to fire off this ContentPage's submit button, instead of the MasterPage's search button?

I am using Ektron CMS for my content management.

The easiest way is to put the fields and button inside of a Panel and set the default button to the button you want to be activated on enter.

<asp:Panel ID="p" runat="server" DefaultButton="myButton">
  <%-- Text boxes here --%>
  <asp:Button ID="myButton" runat="server" />
</asp:Panel>

Jquery – How to format a Microsoft JSON date

eval() is not necessary. This will work fine:

var date = new Date(parseInt(jsonDate.substr(6)));

The substr() function takes out the /Date( part, and the parseInt() function gets the integer and ignores the )/ at the end. The resulting number is passed into the Date constructor.

I have intentionally left out the radix (the 2nd argument to parseInt); see my comment below.

Also, I completely agree with Rory's comment: ISO-8601 dates are preferred over this old format - so this format generally shouldn't be used for new development.

For ISO-8601 formatted JSON dates, just pass the string into the Date constructor:

var date = new Date(jsonDate); //no ugly parsing needed; full timezone support
