defaultbutton

I have an ASP.NET application where there's a few ASP.NET buttons and several plain HTML buttons.

Anytime there's a textbox where a user hits enter, the ASP.NET button trys to submit the form.

I know I can change the defaultButton, but I don't want there to be any default button. I just want it so when the user presses enter it doesn't do anything.

I've tried setting defaultButton to blank, but that doesn't seem to work and I can't seem to find the answer anywhere on the web.

What's the code to make this happen?

Thanks.
