Describe your setup in more detail. Also, what do you mean by value of an anchor tag? Its href? Or you have some html5 "data-" attributes? Or something completely different?

Yes, you said the same thing in your question. This doesn't clarify it. I'm not even sure that Leena solution addresses your problem - it just suggests how you can hide some links on the same page, but you don't describe where those anchor tags are nor what data can change and how.

Much better :)

Is session mandatory (that is, is there a reason you're not using link parameters? like page2.aspx?selection=Sony

You should rename your pages :)

On your server side handler for all clicks.

You also need to have all anchors runat="server" and NavigateUrl / href = "#" so that they redirect after they run through server side code. (or at least I think they will redirect before going server-side, you may check that before doing it...)

C#

protected void anchor_click (object sender, EventArgs e) {
    Session("manufacturer") = "Sony"; // here you need to get the value of the clicked anchor

    Response.Redirect("Page2.aspx", true);
}

Better solution is to set queryString parameters during loading and then you don't have to handle clicks, they will redirect properly and on page2 you need to check queryString instead of session variable

Solution 1

Yes, it can be achieved by using session,
on page load check what session returns, on the basis of that show only that anchor tag, hide others
you need to give Id to your anchor tag.
