Setting controls.Visible = False still takes up space

[Lee]

Hello all,

Let's assume that I have a GridView inside of a panel. No records, are
available for the grid, but the same amount of space is taken up on the
page.

Is there a way to ensure that when a panel or similar is set to
visible=false that the space it takes up is "re-claimed"?

Change the height value of the div tag to something very small, this will
work.

Sorry, I mean tht style for the DIV, change the height value in there.

I thought this was done automatically.

Ensure you are not working in Grid View, as this places each object in a
definate space on the page.

Properties of your main page > You want Flow Control instead of Grid Layout.
Bear in mind you'll have to go into the HTML and remove all the positional
attributes.

Hope it helps.

The height attribute is completely unstandard.

First, thanks to all for replying. I believe that I AM working in Flow
control since everything piles on top of each other if not placed
within table (which is what I am using).

In other words, if I highlight a control on my page and go to Layout >
Position, the value is "Not Set".

I think the problem is that I am using a Panel to place a GridView
inside and the Panel Height style is I've set explcitly to say, 150px.
