Submit Login control button when I hit Enter

I have an ASP.NET web page with a Login control on it. When I hit Enter, the Login button doesn't fire; instead the page submits, doing nothing.

The standard solution to this that I've found online is to enclose the Login control in a Panel, then set the Panel default button. But apparently that doesn't work so well if the page has a master page. I've tried setting the default button in code with control.ID, control.ClientID, and control.UniqueID, and in each case I get:

The DefaultButton of panelName must be the ID of a control of type IButtonControl.

I'm sure there's a way to do this with JavaScript, but I'd really like to do it with plain old C# code if possible. Is it possible?

Sounds like the login button is being spat out as <input type="button"> rather than <input type="submit">. You could always template the LoginControl and add the submit button, getting rid of the hideous default markup at the same time!

If you have to use Javascript to fix this something is seriously wrong! (but then it sounds like you know this)
