Yea, in a way I guess I am. I am basically working with a Javascript based HTML editor on which I have created a custom button, on that button's click event I want the contents of the editor (which is developed purely in javascript) to be transferred in to a .NET string that I can use to continue my logic. So this attempt is in view of one of the solutions I have thought of for that problem.

can you please show the code of what you doing?

Is the control you are looking for in active template? What this mean is that with loginview control only one template is active at any given time i.e. its either if user is not logged in or if use is logged in. Make sure the control you are looking for is within active template. \ hth

Thanks a ton.

You cannot do that using DropDownList control. It doesn't supports whatever you asked. Try to use a custom dropdown (JavaScript DropDown). Castle Rider What if I freeze??? Don't forget to breath... My: Website | Yahoo Group | Blog Spot

Well, you could create an HttpModule that reads the config file, identifies the current page, and injects a Load or PreRender event handler to hide or display controls. Can I ask why you would want to do this? What's wrong with setting the property on the page?
