Retain DIV Visibility After PostBack 1

[SgtJarrow]

ASP is not my forte...I am a Windows programmer by training. But I was asked to create an ASP application and have run into a problem. I have been searching for an answer and nothing I have found works for me.

I have a web page with two DIVs on it. They need to occupy the same place and I am using two radio buttons to control which is displayed. That all works fine.

After entering some info and hitting a Search button, the data is processed correctly, but during PostBack the default DIV (productselectiondiv) is visible again. If the user had selected the alternate DIV, I need that to be retained during PostBack.

I have tried Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript() stuff, a hidden value field and javascript attached to the windows.onload and just can't get anythign working.

Here's what I think is relative code...This is unmodified from any of my trys. If you need more, please let me know. Any suggestions??? Thanks.

aspx.vb File
Page_Load
            Me.rdbProducts.Attributes.Add("onclick", "showProducts()")
            Me.rdbRetailers.Attributes.Add("onclick", "hideProducts()")

aspx File
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
        function showProducts() {
            document.getElementById('productsselectiondiv').style.display = "block";
            document.getElementById('retailersselectiondiv').style.display = "none";
        }
        function hideProducts() {
            document.getElementById('productsselectiondiv').style.display = "none";
            document.getElementById('retailersselectiondiv').style.display = "block";
        }
    // -->
    </script>

What is the HTML markup?

I would use a multiview control and have 2 view. You would set the appropriate view visible based on your radio button selection

Spot on! As I said, ASP is not my strongpoint. I had not used the MultiView before (and didn't even know about it). Quick web searching and some triel and error and I made this work exactly as I needed. THANKS!
