I am only on my first cup of coffee for the morning so this may not be totally coherent. I assume each control has a unique identifier and you already have your conditional logic in place to decide which controls are active or not? If so, just make a "disabled" CSS class which contains your desired styling, then, on the page load, have the class identifier for that control changed. I'm just starting with Ajax myself so I might be way off base, but from what I have read so far, this should be a fairly simple procedure. Example: id="UniqueId" class="active" changed to this when the new page loads: id="UniqueId" class="disabled" Alternatively, if you need to hide it completely, add a display into the control's style: id="UniqueID class="active" to id="UniqueID class="active" style="display:none;" Just a shot in the dark. --- In php-objects@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Shaikh Md.

On selection of a drop down some controls are getting disabled and enabled so again that function needs to be invoked. I guess it is possible through overriding through prototyping of onclick method of textbox?
