How can I hide controls (not remove them from the DOM) on the server side?

I have a div with runat="server" set. I have an ASP.NET button control in my page. When this button is clicked, I want to hide the div.

Is there any other option that setting visible="false"?

I can't use that, because when I do, I can't access the element in my JavaScript since it is removed from the browser. I want to show the hidden div with JavaScript at a later point.

If that's the only thing your button does, I'd probably do it in javascript first to avoid the postback all together.

If that's not an option, then just add the style attribute to the div server-side with "display:none;" for the value.

This doesn't make sense. Setting the CSS visibility to hidden will not remove the element from the DOM.

Add a display:none CSS style to the control:

myDiv.Style.Add(HtmlTextWriterStyle.Display, "none");
