Rendering of Code

[Guest]

Hello I am having a problem with code not being rendered. I have a checkboxlist that is databinded in the Not Page.IsPostBack() sub, and the visibility is set to true/false depending on certain requirements. If the user modifies the page in a certain way then the checkboxlist will be made visible again using JavaScript code. The problem is, that if I set visible=false in the page load sub, then the code for the checkboxlist never gets rendered on the Html Page, so then the JavaScript will go to enable the visibility of the checkboxlist, but it won't even exist on the page. Does anybody know how to have the visible property set to false and still have the code render on the page?
ThankYou
Ryan

Server Side, the "visible" property means actually that this control is not
"rendered" at all (as a result you won't see any HTML code for this control
client side).

You should hide it instead.

Sure. Use styles.

Use the "display:none" CSS style and keep the Visible property server side
to True. As a result :
- with Visible set tot True, the HTML code is rendered
- with the "display:none" style, this part is hidden

You can then later use JavaScript to change style.display to '' making
appear the corresponding HTML.

could you please give me some idea of where to start with this? I want to

be able to manipulate the visible property of the checkboxlist in source
code. I guess somehow I'd have to programmatically create a style, then set
the visibility property to false???
