Processing input click in <asp: textbox
I have an asp.net text box that I want to use as a search box.
I did not plan to have a button, just letting the user enter the search keywords in the text box and press the enter key.
<div id="search-bar">
<asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server" ></asp:TextBox>
</div>
How can I get an "enter press" to call a method or send a page with keywords in the URL parameters, for example. search.aspx?keywords=this&that?
