Creating a custom drop down in .Net

[qwert231]

K, I can do this with Javascript, but I am writing this in .Net. Not too sure how to mix the two or how to do it in .Net. I have a <DIV> that I want to show and hide. What's the best way to do this?

I don't know if I understand....are you asking how to turn a dropdown between two <div> tags on and off programatically?

If so, in your code behind assign the <div> html code or a &quot;&quot; to a public variable as needed and then place that variable on the front end in your html code.

Well, I call it a drop down but I guess that is inaccurate. It is basically a table between DIV tags. But I think your Public variable thing will work. It's worked on my datagrids. Give me a few mins.

If you simply want to show hide things programatically use the server side panel control and put your drop down/table whatever it is inside the panel control. When the panel is hidden so is everything else within it.

That'l do donkey, that'l do

Thanks. That's what I ended up doing.

Hey! That's cool! I didn't know about the Panel Control. Learn something every day. Thanks, Mark!

I thought everything had a visible property?

Not html controls, only .net controls. With older controls, if they supported the styles visibility attribute you could work with that. Div tags would do that. I placed my table between some div tags, and with javascript I manipulated the visibility.
