server controls and Page Methods

Can you access properties (Text, Visible, etc...) on server controls
(i.e. TextBox, Label, etc...) from javascript? I am trying to toggle
the visibility of a Label clientside.



OnClientClick="toggle();return false;" />

Is this possible?
Thanks!
Jason

You've got Dom Properties for that:

var label = $get('<%=this.lblMessage.ClientID %>');
if (label.style) {
label.style.display = "hidden";
}
}

Or you can prototype all the properties of Label (for example) and wrap all
methods ... I think it's a suicide !

The server controls themselves cannot be manipulated via javascript, but the
HTML generated by the server controls can. I believe that a Label renders as
a element, which may or may not contain the functionality you desire.
Personally, I would wrap the label in a
