    Find and HTML Element

    If I have an HTML element, say a <p> tag with and ID="Fred", how do I find
    that element? I want to set the Style attribute to "hidden", how do I do
    that?

    Thanks!!!

          If this is to toggle items on/off on screen, then this is probably a job for
          javascript.

          If it's to toggle items on/off via a postback, then I'd just use
          labels/placeholders to hold the content and set those visbible states in the
          codebehind.

          Otherwise, you can put a runat="server" in the P tag and access it that way.

              I am using javascript to turn on and off an error message based on an edit
              which is imposed in the javascript. But when the page comes back to the
              server I am going to run the test again at the server and hence I want to
              turn the message on if I detect and error.

              OK, I place a "runat="ser ver" and then access, but I'm still not sure what
              the code would look like to change the visibility property and I am not sure
              which class I should use for the <P> element. Is this equate to the
              "HtmlContainerC ontrol"? That has no "Attibutes" property. Maybe I should
              use the plain "HtmlContro l"?
