Div tag not showing when I use relative positioning

Hi all, I am working in VS 2012 with vb.net. and asp.net 4.5. I am using a div to group some controls. When a condition is met I want to move the div and controls in div up the screen. I used: div1.Attributes.Add("style", "position:relative; left:0px;top:0px") in the code behind. In the aspx page I have: <div runat="server" style="border: thin solid #000000; background-color: #ECE4C5" id="div1" height="50px" align="center"> The controls move up, but the frame around the controls and the background color do not show. I hope I explained what I am trying to accomplish well enough so someone will understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated. This isn't homework. I have been out of school for ages.

Thank-you very much,

D-Bar

Thank-you woopsydoozy. This line of code got the frame to appear, but it did not move up the screen and no background color, but it is a start.

I tweaked the top position of each control and was able to get all the controls to move up, including the div, to the desired position. Now I just need the background color to appear.

I added this extra line in my code behind and the background color appeared.
div1.Attributes("style") &= "background-color: #ECE4C5;"
If someone else is having this problem they will know how to correct it.

Instead of adding a new style attribute, edit your existing one. Try:

VB

div1.Attributes("style") &= "position:relative;left:0px;top:0px;"
