Without seeing your code it's a bit difficult. All I can suggest is that you use the following property to make the browser submit the form in the way you want:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.webcontrols.button.usesubmitbehavior.aspx[^]

Your login button should have UseSubmitBehavior="true" and the signup button should have UseSubmitBehavior="false"

This should tell the browser to submit the form using the login button when you press enter.

Hi,

In your page load, bind your login button id as default.

here is the below syntax,

Page.Form.DefaultButton = btnLogin.UniqueID;

Here, in the place of btnLogin, give your login button id.

Hope this helps.
