Hiding a submit button

[mdiehl]

I need to hide my submit button on my asp page. Is there a way to hide the button until I need to let the user see it?

Thanks

Thank You!
I never used Javascript yet. I'm just starting with ASP. Do you know what she means when she says I would need a browser sniffer for this one (not included here)?

[dom86]

No sorry I don’t. But read this page this might help, sounds good

Ok Thanks for all your help.

I'm a bit rusty on my ASP, but why can't you do

<%
if condition then
response.write('<input type="submit" value="Submit">');
end if
%>

?

A browser sniffer is a piece of code that detects the type/version of browser that is being used. At least I think that's what it is - I always avoid that type of code.

rocknbil,
I tried your piece of code. I thought it worked the first time I tried it, but then it gave me a syntax error. Here is the code that I am using:

<% If Session("blnEntry") then %>
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">
<% Else%>
<%response.write('<input type="submit" value="Submit">');%>
<% End If%>

Thanks for your help!

Thanks Kaled for your help!

Remove the ";" from the end of the Response.Write line and that should get rid of your syntax error.

Although, your code is saying "If the blnEntry session variable exists, then display a submit button. Otherwise, display a submit button.". :)

Ok. Thanks.

Someone else suggested that I use this method of code:

<tr id="HideRow"></tr><!--Hide the submit button-->

Then in my CSS do this:

tr#HideRow
{
display: none
}

I tried your piece of code.

Toldya' I was rusty, I usually work in perl. :-) Good you found the way. If you're using ASP, the tools are right there to show and hide it as required.
