how to make the label invisible

Hi
First, know that ASP.NET label tag will be rendered as an html div or span.
Second, you dont need to setup a timer in your code behind. just trigger a javascript with either an input or an anchor or anything else.

Try this :

<input type="submit"  önclick="flick(yourlabelid);" value="hello" />
<a href="javascript:flick(yourlabelid); return false;">hello</a>
<div id="yourlabelid">content</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
function flick(id){
 hideLabel(id);
 var t=setTimeout("showLabel("+id+")",30000);
}
function hideLabel(id) {
document.getElementById(id).style.display = "none";
}
function showLabel(id) {
document.getElementById(id).style.display = "block";
}
</script>

in this example both input and anchor launch javascript function named flick. this function hides rendered label, waits 30 seconds and shows the label again.

maybe you can use server side coding. is suggest you make a hidden field for the timer for example label2 is assigned to count the timer but it is hidden and the user cannot see it.

 if label1.text = "30" then
label1.visible = false
end if
