PlaceHolder doesn't have an HTML ID

[wey97]

I want to have a section on a page that I can set the visibility to hidden through javascript and have the section collapse. I tried to use the PlaceHolder control but it doesn't generate an object on the client side - so I can't use document.getElementById.

Any ideas?

Would you be able to use a Panel element instead?

I've already tried...you can hide the panel in javascript but the space it took up remains on the page - it doesn't collapse.

The Panel control generates a HTML div - if you have a width and height specified even if it isn't visible maybe it is still reserving the space. Have you tried hiding it and resizing it to 0 x 0?

I tried what you suggested and that didn't work either.
Finally found that setting style.display = 'none'
will hide it and collapse the space.

Thanks
