Show Region & ASP.NET forms

[jefreywith1f]

Using ASP.NET VB. I have a form generated through the insert record wizard. It
works OK, but I want to prevent users from submitting the form depending on a
session variable. However if I wrap "show region if data set is empty" around
all or part of the form i get an error in the browser e.g. Compiler Error
Message: BC30451: Name 'area_choice' is not declared.

line 398 is highlighted

Line 396: <ContentsTemplate>
Line 397: <p>blah blah blah</p>
Line 398: <p><% area_choice.SelectedIndex =
area_choice.Items.IndexOf(area_choice.Items.FindBy Value("")) %>
Line 399: <asp:dropdownlist id="area_choice"
Line 400: DataSource="<%# dsTopicAreas.DefaultView %>"

there's nothing perculiar about area_choice - it's just the first
asp.dropdownlist in the form

You would be better to disable the button rather than trying to wrap the
form.

Basically what happens in that when a page is called all of the code that is
part of an onload event, or not defined in a function gets checked.
