Why this does not remove the table from the display

I put the code below into Page_Load and then tried Page_PreRender but the
table still shows.

CType(Me.FindControl("FormMaster").FindControl("TableTop"),
System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlTable).Visible = False

Using the debugger I can see that the FindControls do indeed find the
correct table OK,

Do you know why this does not remove the table from the display?

Thanks

Not sure, but one thing that might be the problem is the lack of a
runat=server in the control. Long shot, perhaps.

What I generally do is place the stuff to hide in a Panel. Sure it adds
a bit more HTML, but container controls are really nice for "hiding" as
you can add additional bits into the container later and have them hide
too.

Peace and Grace,

I have that.

Maybe I'll try that but since there is only one element it seems I shouldn't
have to add a bit more HTML.

I was looking for something like "visible doesn't work with tables". That
is, maybe there was something basic that I didn't know.

I'll keep plugging along. Somehow these thing always get resolved.

Eventually!

Thanks
