Jump to PostThere are many ways to show/hide, render/not render a control

Yes it is, an asp:Button will cause a postback and you can make controls visible property true/false server side. The OP asked for javascript to show/hide controls on the page client-side. The only reason to show/hide controls with javascript is because a postback serverside is a lot of network and server resources re-constructing a whole page just to hide/show one or two controls. So, as we were discussing client-side code an asp:Button was not necessary.
