Controls' visibility property, modified by JavaScript, is ignored after postback?

A postback is just another way of saying the html form was submitted. When you submit a form, the only things sent to the server are the value and name properties of the input and select elements in the form. That's why your "text" is preserved: it's the value attribute of that element.

If you want to also preserve your visibility changes, or any other changes, you need to add an element to your form that can hold these changes somehow in it's value attribute.

Hook on the client side pageLoad event and hide the text box there. Example.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
