panel / placeholder problem

I'm creating an XHTML page in aspx, and I've been using a Panel control to
show and hide areas. I've just found, however, that depending on the
browser you're using, sometimes it puts a DIV tag or a TABLE tag into the
code, which I really don't want.

To work around it, I've been using the Placeholder instead of the Panel -
works perfectly, but it makes any ASPX tags within the placeholder come up
as invalid.

Does anyone have a better solution than this? Is there a best practice, or
a way to silence the Panel control?

Thanks in advance,

Dunc

I have a panel on a webpage. I use client Javacript to manipulate its visibility using something like: Panel.style.display = 'none'. During a postback, getting the Visible attribute always returns true whether the panel was visible or not. Is there another Javascript method to turn on/off a Panel's visibility *and* whose attribute can be read from code behind? I am thinking of using a hidden field as a flag placeholder which can be used...

What is the difference between a Panel and a <div> tag with runat="server"? It seems that I can add child controls to either one in a code-behind and they both render to a <div> anyway at runtime. What is the difference between a Placeholder and a Div, other than a Placeholder does not render at runtime? Thanks.

My code does the following... It references a stored procedure and builds a PlaceHolder containing certain controls, based on the parameters from the stored proc. This is implemented in it's own class. On the form, the user can select from a drop down box of many stored procs. From that, parameter fields are created which the user can change, in the PlaceHolder, and then added to the Panel on the form.

Hello, I have a problem here with an ASP.NET website. The pages are supposed to use a single master page which just contains some images and a menu control on the top, below that is the content placeholder. What I would like to achieve is to always see the master page elements (the images and the menu control). In other words, the content placeholder should display a scrollbar, not the whole page.

I have an HTML table in which I am using ASP:Panel controls to group together <tr>'s so that I can more easily show/hide them (by setting the ASP:Panel's Visible property). This works fine, but Visual Studio .NET 2005's Design View always hides the <tr>'s regardless of whether the ASP:Panel's Visible property is set to True, False, or not set at all. Is there some way I can stop Visual Studio .NET 2005's Design View from hiding my <tr>'s...

I want to group controls in a panel or placeholder, some of the controls are added dynamically. How do I control the order the controls appear prior to using css. And how do I ensure the panels css groups all the control within the class. When I add controls to the placeholder below dynamically the css which has a border for panel1 does not go around all of the controls it kind of goes in a band above the controls rather than surround them....
