aspx thread: Conditional HTML


Message #1 by "Hugh McLaughlin" <hugh@k...> on Thu, 6 Dec 2001 02:49:32
Hello everyone and thanks for your help in advance.  In classic ASP, I 

would often develop self-contained search pages, i.e. one page that 

displays the search form, but when the submit button is clicked, the 

search results are displayed (without the search box).  This was 

accomplished via inline code like the following:



If Submitbutton="Search" Then

%>

    HTML Search Form

<%ELSE%>

    Display Search Results



My question is how can this be accomplished in ASP.Net without using 

inline code to conditionally display.  Is it even advisable to do this?

try using the <asp:panel> control to enclose the various UI sections and set

the visibility on/off as needed.

Is your SubmitButton being initialized via a queryString during a postBack?



e.g. Your Legacy ASP



dim SubmitButton

SubmitButton = Request("SubmitType")



....



If SubmitButton = "Search" then



...

Hugh:



my post was incomplete (too quick on the SUBMIT)!



you can use <asp:panel> to hide/show the input form and the resulting

output. you can toggle this visibility in the CLICK event for the button(s).



does this help?
