    How would i do this....

    Ive a dropdown list, contains numbers 1 - 10.

    ive ten textboxes hidden underneath it.

    Depending on the number chosen i show same number of textboxes.

    Anyone know how to do this client side only?:confused:

    If you want it clientside, use javascript or somesuch scripting language.

    isnt it as straight fwd as adding a sub to the selectedindex event of the drop down that says something like :

    sub showbuttons(byval intSelectIndex as integer)

    if intSelectIndex >= 0 then

    button1.visible = true

    end if

    if intSelectIndex >= 1 then

    button2.visible = true

    end if

    This is reasonably easy if you're willing to postback to the server. You can set AutoPostBack="true" on the drop down list so when they make a selection the page refreshes with the correct number of text boxes displayed. However doing this in javascript is probably more tricky, i.e. I don't know how to do it.

    Finally, for an AJAX solution consider Atlas (http://atlas.asp.net). This provides the resonsiveness of client side with the programming model of server side :-)
