Show/hide divs according to server side variable

[Mike P]

How would I show or hide a div that is using client side Javascript
based upon a server side variable?

Here are my divs :

<div id="idButton5" class="otherLef tBarLink" onmouseover="ja vascript:
changeStylesMou seOver('5');" onmouseout="jav ascript:
changeStylesMou seOut('5');" onclick="locati on='/AddProject.aspx '">
<div class="leftBarL inkText">
Add Project
</div>
</div>
<div id="idButton7" class="otherLef tBarLink"
onmouseover="ja vascript: changeStylesMou seOver('7');"
onmouseout="jav ascript: changeStylesMou seOut('7');"
onclick="locati on='/AddTask.aspx'">
<div class="leftBarL inkText">
Add Task
</div>
</div>

I want to use a variable that is being set in the Page_Load event to
determine whether I show or hide each of these divs.

Hi,

Put your variable's value in a hidden input ....
access the hidden input from javascript ...
and perform your operation

Best of luck

How exactly would I do that?

In the page load event register some custom javascript to include on
the page, e.g.

protected void Page_Load(objec t sender, EventArgs e)
{
// build custom javascript string based on server parameter
string myJavascript = "var myParameter = '" + this.MyParamete r +
"';";
// register script on page
Page.ClientScri pt.RegisterClie ntScriptBlock(
Page.GetType(), "MyScript", myJavascript, true);
// now myParameter can be used in javascript code on the page
}
private string MyParameter
{
get { ... }
}
Alternatively you could put runat="server" on the divs and set the
Visible property as you would on a server control, but that's entirly
server side, not javascript.

I am setting runat="server" on the divs and set the
Visible property as you would on a server control, but whenever my code
calls one of my Javascript functions I get the error 'object required'
when I am passing the div id to the function changeStylesMou seOver(id).
But this works fine when I don't set runat="server".

Any ideas why?

The server side Visible property will cause the control not to be
rendered out to the browser.

To have it there but hidden change the CSS style properties of the
control rather than the Visible property.
