Accessing value of hidden table cell

[chris]

I've created an ASP table which is dynamically populated and it has a hidden
column at the end. The cell is marked as invisible but when I try and obtain
the cell value in client side script (JavaScript) then the cell does not
exist in the row's Cells collection. If I flag the cell as visible on
creation then the cell value can be accessed by the client side script.

Can someone help me out?

any control set to invisible is not rendered, so can not be accessed by
client script. you can set the style, but hidden fields seem like a better
idea.

For the reason Bruce's said, leave the column with Visible = true and hide
it with css rule display:none. You can do it by assignid the column's
CssClass="Invisible" where Invisible is defined somewhere in css as
..Invisible{displey:none}
