Save display value between postbacks

[satish.vell]

Hi,

I have a ASP.NET page inside which I toggle the display of a field
using javascript.

How can I save this display value between postbacks.

Here is my code:

<pre>
<%--Name fields--%>
<asp:HyperLink runat="server" id="namesLink" cssclass="searchLink">
<img id="arrowImg1" src="images/arrow_close.gif" alt="&gt;&gt;"
style="border:none;"/>Name</asp:HyperLink>:
<aspanel id="names" cssclass="searchField"
runat="server">
<table><tr><td>First</td><td>Middle
Initials</td><td>Last</td></tr>
<tr><td><asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="FirstName"
Text=""></asp:TextBox></td>
<td><asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="MiddleName"
Text=""></asp:TextBox></td>
<td><asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="LastName"
Text=""></asp:TextBox></td></tr>
</table>
</aspanel>
</pre>

In the Page_Load I have
<pre>
namesLink.Attributes.Add("onclick", "ShowOrHide('arrowImg1', '" +
names.ClientID + "')")
</pre>


I toggle the display of 'names' panel when the user clicks the
Hyperlink 'namesLink', how can I save the display value for 'names'
panel between postbacks?
If 'names' panel is expanded, i want it to appear expanded after
postback

Hope I am clear.
Thanks in advance

Place your data into a HiddenField. You can change the value with
Javascript and ASP.NET will persist it on a PostBack.
