[RESOLVED] Dynamically make visible certain panels (like the "search" here at vbforums.com)

Hey thanks again, Gary!

The contents of the fly out are, indeed, consistent. They will not change in my example.

The only thing that I want to change on them is whether or not certain ones are checked based on what the user is typing. So as they type, I want it to run through the same function somewhere that decides what kind of text they are typing and just check on or off any of those boxes. When they actually click the search button or hit enter, it will then search and do things based on what check boxes were checked (so it doesnt matter if they were checked automatically by the smart function or if the user checked them at that point). This is how they override and fine tune what they want to search. I think its a decent solution as power users and laymen alike can use the same search box.

I've got a love/hate relationship with the AJAXControlToolkit at this point, but I do really like those examples you reminded me of there.

That example where the popup has the option boxes on it looks to be right up my alley, but I am wondering if it allows me to fire off code as they are typing or if it makes me bind some sort of data list to it in order to handle the filtering on its own?

I am going to dig into it right now and let you know how it goes!
