WebControl.Style and ViewState

[Guest]

i'm creating a text box dynamically in the page load and on the client side i
use the following script to hide the control

document.getElementById('dynamicText').style.display='none';
document.getElementById('dynamicText').style.visibility='hidden';

after a post back the control is displayed again
i examined the WebControl.Style properties and found that it's not affected
by the client script, so how can i handle this??

thanks in advance,
Mesalem

Yes, server-side doesn't know about those changes made at client-side. It
needs to be informed somehow if it needs to do something about it.

You would need to provide that info to the server say via hidden form fields
or equivalent (e.g do it during a postback) so that the control can be
hidden at the server (if that's required). otherwise you'd need to rehide it
at the client.
