I add a runat server tag to a div tag.  I can control it's visibility, ect with code like "MyDivArea.Visible = false;

But I'm not sure how to set the width of MyDivArea using the style property.  This doesn't work.

MyDivArea.style.value ="width:100%;"

 I just want to temporarily change the width, but then have it go back to it's original size also.

Thanks,

Mike

You can use either of the two options below:

MyDivArea.Style(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Width) = "100%"
MyDivArea.Style("height") = "100%"

Hope that helps.

If you're doing this in JavaScript it's like

MyDivArea = document.getElementById("someID"); 

MyDivArea.style.width="100%";

If you're doing this in the code behind it would look like

MyDivArea.Style.Add("width","100%");

niether worked I must being doing something wrong. I got the error "style is a property but used like a method.  I codeing in C#.  Not sure if that helps.

Thanks anyway

Ah, I thought you were using VB, try

MyDivArea.Style[HtmlTextWriterStyle.Width] = "100%";
MyDivArea.Style["width"] = "100%";

Hi Mike,

If you want to  control div's visibility , you should set the border of the div, because the border value is no set or none by default, so you could not see the div control without changing the border style.,

Hope it helps.

I gave up and built a table.  I could set the div's visibilty to false fine and it looked good, but when I tried to make it visible it, allot of the nested controls remained visible = false.  They remained this way even after I stopped debugging and un do my changes.  I couldn't get it back and had to resort to a backup copy of my web.

I am using starter kit and when IE window is too small, one div falls below another.  I just wanted it to remain in place and activate a scroll bar to scroll to the left.

I got rid of Divs and am almost finished recreating GUI with a table.

Thanks for your comment

Mike
