Repeater Control Question

[Roshawn]

Hi,

I have a Repeater control that contains a few web controls. It looks like
this:

<asp:Repeater id="Repeater1" runat="server">
<ItemTemplate><asp:HyperLink id="HyperLink1" runat="Server"
navigateurl="<%# Container.DataItem("address") %>" text="<%#
Container.DataItem("Name") %> /></ItemTemplate>
<SeparatorTemplate>, </SeparatorTemplate>
</asp:Repeater>

I've designed it to work like a pager control. Now whenever a hyperlink is
clicked, I'd like to replace the selected hyperlink with a literal control.
Is there any way to accomplish this task?

Thanks,
Roshawn

If it's only to make it unclickable, set its NavigateUrl property to a blank
string.

what I did for my code is to put both the hyperlink control and the literal
control in the ItemTemplate. And I just set the visible attribute accordingly
whenever I don't want any of it to show on client's screen. found this
solution to be short and clean.
btw, remember to replicate all you controls with in itemtemplate to
alternateitemtemplate both are suppose to be the same, it seems that you've
missed that out in your code pasted here.
