Expand/Collapse table row from hyperlink click

[moondaddy]

Using asp.net 2.0 and c#, I have a table in a webform. One of the rows in
the table has some text used as a main category heading. I want to be able
to click on this heading and display or hide the row under it (similar to
expanding nodes in a tree). How can I do this all client side? I was
thinking of having the heading text look like a hyperlink so it would be
intuitive for users to click on the link to see the row below.

Thanks.

Do you mean something like this: http://www.markrae.com/zzScratch/debug.aspx

If so, just do a View Source and rip the JavaScript function...

Although it ues buttons to toggle the visibility of entire tables, it would
a very simple matter to modify it so that it uses hyperlinks to toggle the
visibility of individual rows...

Thanks for Mark's input.

Hi Moondaddy,

Normally, such show/hide functionality is implemented by client-side
javascript, and you can use the html element's "display" css property to
control whether it is show or hidden. Here are some additional web
articles introducing how to implement such functionality:

If you have any more specific requirement here, please feel free to post
