RE: Display

The only problem with that is when coding in Visual Studio the way that the RequiredFeildValidator tag works is through that functionality, switching between display none and inline. In order to fix that problem I would need to go in and change the rendering JS in Visual studio. I agree that there are ways around this problem, and good ways around it, which I am going to have to do now, but just thought of this for a nice feature to have so that we wouldn't have to go through a work around. I am sure there are many more instances where this functionality would be nice to have.

This should be fixed in the javascript.  All you need to do is set
display:none when hiding it, and then *remove the display:none when
showing*.  Don't set it to some explicit value, just remove "none" (or
the whole @style attribute, whichever's simpler) and it will work as
desired.
