alternative to Panels for show/hiding parts of a page?

I really like using Panels in ASP.net to show hide parts of a page. The only
catch is that, by default, panels are rendered as DIVs. There are times when
I'd like the panels rendered as Spans...so that they can be used as inline
content.

I can set the display: inline style programatically , or I can create a new
CSS style for this panel and set the 'display: inline' style there, but I'm
wondering if there's a more direct workaround that I could place directly in
the asp:Panel tags do it's not dependant on external styling.

I was playing around with a new Windows form yesterday. I wanted to drop two panels on the form. The first would be set Dock=Top. The second would be set Dock=Fill. So, I dropped the first panel and set its Dock property to Top. I then dropped the second panel on the form and set its Dock property to Fill. Holy disappearing panels, Batman. The second panel filled the entire form hiding the first panel. So, when I dropped my grid...

Hey all, I have a ASP .NET webpage which contains several panels. When I click a button on the first "panel" page, it postsback to the same page, and I switch the visibility of the panels accordingly. BUT, when I click the back button, the same panel shows up, not the "previous" panel. I need to fix this ASAP! I have tried expiring the page, but then I seem to lose viewstate on the previous page (panel). How can I do this, I see a...

Hi There, Should I be able to show and hide panels in an asp.net page without requiring a postback? I thought there was a way to do this using java script. Can anyone give me an example? I can't seem to find one that makes sense. Thanks.

Hi, How can I lay one panel over the other? I want to switch back and forth between panels that overlap. If I do this and make one invisible can I still load controls with data if that particular panel is invisible? Thanks, JJ

Hi! I have aspx-page where I use multiple panels to make room for more controls than would otherwise fit onto one page. On submit, the controls on all panels, visible or not, should be validated with the ASP.NET validators, and if the page is valid, it is sent to the database in one transaction. But it seems that only the controls on the visible panels gets validated. Is there a easy way to solve this problem?

I am using ASP.NET 2.0 and C#. I am creating a page with multiple panels on it. In the panels are user controls that have the screen layout to input data. I only show one panel at a time by making it visible and the other panels not visible. That works fine. I have buttons that determine what is visible and not visible. This is being done so that all the information can be input before any tables in the DB is updated. This updating...

I'm currently working on a form which consists of a show and hide javascript. The toggle works fine, although when I click on submit, I would like the page to reload with the toggle (show/hide) div in the same state it was before being submitted. E.G. If the div was visible, I'd like for it to be visible upon return. Here's the script I'm currently using - thanks for any help, Louis --------------------------------------------

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
