TextChanged Event doesn't fire WITH AutoPostBack = True???

[KathyB]

Hi, clearly I'm just not getting something here. I have an aspx form
with ONE textbox and several label controls on it.

I have the textbox set to AutoPostBack = True, but when I enter my
text and hit ENTER, nothing fires.

Oddly enough, this is similar to the button problem I've just posted
as well. I use similar code for the textbox textchanged event, but it
doesn't fire on that page either IF I remove the button (even though I
don't have to press the button to fire the textchanged).

PLEASE help me, this is killing my brain.

Thank you!

The autopostback will fire when the focus of the control is lost (ie.
onBlur).
The enter key will submit the page, but is different of browsers (which is
why it doesn't really work with the onClick of buttons).

Philip.

I'm using ie 6 in an intranet exclusively...it should NOT be a browser
issue.

PLEASE help me...this will kill our use of asp.net for this project. Is
not the ENTER key supposed to cause autopostback if autopostback is set
to TRUE for that box???

thanks. DESPERATE FOR ANSWER!

Further to this post, here is the html from the source when I run this
aspx page in vs.net debug:

<input name="txtScan" type="text" onchange="__doPostBack('txtScan','')"
language="javascript" id="txtScan" style="width:144px;Z-INDEX: 107;
LEFT: 63px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 221px" />

It certainly looks (to a novice...me) that it should be doing what it
should...HOW to resolve this?

John,

The code wouldn't help, it's just that it's not firing. I've tried
adding a second textbox and if I hit tab, it fires. However, this
textbox needs to fire on ENTER since I couldn't possibly tell uses to
"remember" to hit tab...see what I mean.

If it's a BUG, could someone please tell me a workaround? Getting
desperate.

Thanks.

Kathy,

1) If I didn't think the code would help, I wouldn't have asked :-)
2) I meant, "add the second text box and hit Enter in the first".
