Hiding rows in an ASP.NET table

[chris f]

I have an ASP.NET 2 web page that dynamically populates an ASP table in the
Page_Load event. Rows relate to different people and I want to let the user
display only rows for a particular person when they select them from a
dropdown list on the same page. (Each row has a hidden PersonId column.) The
page initially shows the rows for all people.

Is it possible to hide the rows for the other people when the user selects a
person from the dropdown list? I want avoid having to load the page again
because the database query that gets the data for the table can take some
time. Any client-side scripting would have to be in Javascript.

Hi Chris,

if table contents hidden ids, you can write a javascript to enumerate
and hide rows. If you have the layout as following... how exactly the
PersonId column looks like?

<asp:Table runat="server">
<asp:TableRow>
<asp:TableCell ...></asp:TableCell>
</asp:TableRow>
</asp:Table>

You can also consider to use Ajax and the UpdatePanel control to
enable partial-page rendering of the resulting table and show "Please
wait" during the process...
