Sections visible and not visible

[tshad]

I have a page with many input variables and some are blank. I want to make
the row "not visible" if the field is blank.

For example:

<tr>
<td width="120" align="right" nowrap>
<asp:Label id="contactAddressHead" Text="Address:" runat="server"/>
</td>
<td>
<asp:Label id="contactAddress" TextMode="MultiLine" Columns="50"
rows="2" runat="server" />
</td>
</tr>

I tried to check contactAddress to see if it was blank and then make
contactAddressHead and contactAddress not visible, which it does. But the
line between the rows above and below are now larger.

What I need to do is make the row (tr) not visible. I thought about using
<div>, but how do I handle that in my server script?

Is there a better way?

Thanks,

Tom

you would have to put a runat="server" on it, give it an ID. It should
become an HtmlGenericControl in the .vb. Then you should be able to make it
not visible.

That was what I was looking for.

More specifically you could add an ID and the runat attribute to your TR
tag. This way you'll be able to hanlde this tr (HtmlTableRow) and to set its
visible property to false...

I didn't know you could do that? There is a visibility attribute to TR?
