prevent Textbox postback when hit enter key?

[pedestrian via DotNetMonster.com]

I create a asp.net 3.5 page using visual studio 2008. It is a simple page
with labels, text boxes and a few buttons. The problem is when I hit enter
key on the textbox the page is post back. I would like to prevent this, what
should I do?

In addition, I particularly week in designing user interface for web pages.
Any books to brush up on this?

Thanks for replying...

First of all, when you say you want to prevent the enter key from doing a
postback, does that mean you want the user to only be able to use a button
to postback, or does it mean you want the form to pass validation before it
is submitted? I would suggest you learn how to use ASP.NET Validators
(assuming you don't know how to use them already, they are pretty simple to
use).
