Hide Empty Placeholders and Surrounding HTML?
|

| Ninerfan 2006-06-22, 1:22 pm |
| I am displaying rows using <div> tags and each row has two columns using CSS
boxes each using <div> tags. Inside one box is an HTML place holder to just
hold text, and inside the other CSS box is a single image placeholder
control.
I want to enforce a minimum of one but maximum of five rows, and the most
important thing is I only want to display each row (div/css/cms controls
combo) if the place holders for that row have been populated. If there is
nothing in those place holders I don't want to show the empty row?
This has been very basic OOTB functionality for other CMS systems for years
for example having a replicate attribute with min max values attached to the
place holder definition so those values could be set with a click of the
mouse, what is the expected approach with MS CMS?
I'm guessing that the only way to do this is to control the display of the
entire page from inside the code behind. I hope I'm wrong.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

| Hi Ninerfan,
this is not a MCMS related question but an ASP.NET question as the logic
needs to be implemented using ASP.NET methods.
Please post this question to an ASP.NET related newsgroup.
Cheers,
Stefan
