Remove the visible  false  attribute and add a CSS class that is not visible by default  Then you should be able to reference the dropdown by the correct id  for example       ctl00 cphTest test1   show      Above ID you should serach for in the source of the rendered page in your browser

The problem is that since you are using ASP NET controls with a runat attribute  the ID of the control is not actually  test1   It s  test1  with a long string attached to it

How you made it invisible  Try different approach  Use       test1   css  display   none      When you want to hide that element  and then use       test1   css  display   block      When you wnat to show it   Or just move these styles into a class and add remove class

Use style  display none  in your dropdown list tag and in jquery use the following to display and hide       yourdropdownid   css  display    inline      OR       yourdropdownid   css  display    none

Depends on how you hid it   If you used the CSS visibility value then      test1   css  visibility    visible      If you used CSS  display       test1   css  display    block      or inline or any of the other combos   You might even have made it opacity   0      test1   css  opacity    1

Using ASP NET s visible  false  property will set the visibility attribute  where as I think when you call show   in jQuery it modifies the display attribute of the CSS style   So doing the latter won t rectify the former   You need to do this       test1   attr  visibility    visible

Depends  if i remember correctly i think asp net won t render the html object out when you set visible to false   If you want to be able to control it from the client side  then you better just include the css value to set it invisible rather than using visible  false

I would be careful with setting the display of the element to block  Different elements have the standard display as different things  For example setting display to block for a table row in firefox causes the width of the cells to be incorrect   Is the name of the element actually test1  I know that  NET can add extra things onto the start or end  The best way to find out if your selector is working properly is by doing this   alert     text1   length     You might just need to remove the visibility attribute      text1   removeAttr  visibility
