Unable to set div's Visible property to true

Hi guys,

I have the following markup

Code:

---

<div class="validation clear" runat="server" id="div_MyDiV" visible="false">
  Some text
</div>

---

and code behind

Code:

---

div_MyDiV.Visible = true;

---

When I debug, the visible property is false, and after stepping over de line, it's still false?!?!

Any ideas?

Try setting it in the PreRender page event and see if it helps - my guess is that your assignment of true is overwritten

I've used this a dozen of times before, always in the page load.

Anyway, it wasn't visible because of some other reason. It works fine now. Only thing I don't understand is why the debugger always show that Visible=false.

I looked at it the first step after setting the Visible property to true. When would it be overwritten then?
