Question

I am working on a webpage and at some point I need to disable a asp:button.

This page uses a css file that has the following class:

.pagerLinkDisabled
{
    display: none;
}

So every time I set a button to disabled .net renders it with class="pagerLinkDisabled" and the button is not displayed…

At pageload I tried this:

myButton.Enabled=false;
myButton.Style.Add("display","static");

How can I work around this problem without changing the css file?

Thanks 🙂

Edit:

To clarify:

• The button is being rendered but when enabled is set to false the framework is adding class=”pagerLinkDisabled” to the input tag.

• This class is defined at a css file that I cannot change.

Edit2:

My button is defined as such:

<asp:Button runat="server" ID="myButton" Text="mytext" Enabled="false" />

The html that is being rendered is:

<input type="submit" name="ctl00$ContentPlaceHolder$ctl00$myButton" value="mytext" id="ctl00_ContentPlaceHolder_ctl00_myButton" class="pagerLinkDisabled" />

Can you not just edit the HTML Source so that the button does not use that class?

Or is it defines at a higher level within with HTML? e.g. At the BODY tag.
