Hide and Show Div on Page_Load

[Shapper]

Hello,

I need to hide or show a div on page_load. How can I do it?

I have this in my aspx.vb file:
....
dloginerror.visible = "false"
....

But it says the name is not declared.
How can I declare it?

Is this the right way to do this?

Thanks,
Miguel

create an <aspanel> in your apsx page, click on the designer then hit
F7 to go to the code behind,

you should now have a class member variable that you can set visible

I just solved it by declaring:
Protected WithEvents myDiv As HtmlGenericControl

Is there any problem of using a div instead of an aspanel?

What are the good and bad things about one and the other?

Thanks,
Miguel

Its fine to do it like you have, you get more control be creating a
panel though

The Panel is a server side control and therefore has properties and can
participate in viewstate
