How do you set the “Visible” property of a ASP.NET control from a Javascript function?

Question

Bascially I want to know the best way to hide/show an ASP.NET control from a Javascript function. I figured I would just access the control in Javascript using:

<

You want to set the display style property to 'none' (to hide) or null to show.

   var theControl = document.getElementById("txtEditBox");

   theControl.style.display = 'none';

   theControl.style.display = null;

Doing it the jQuery way:

   $('#txtEditBox').hide();

   $('#txtEditBox').show();
