Visibility turns off all rendering so if you set visible to false you get exactly - nothing <g>. IOW, if you're getting extra spaces it's because it's in your HTML.

This is always tricky, because you want the spaces when it displays, not when it doesn't so a lot of times I have routines that add extra
/

at the end when rendering.

The queries and calculations are done (in a class) and returned as an HTML Table. It is a single page deal. There is an if() checking for PostBack. If PostBack=true then it sets all the page controls.visible property to false and then shows the HTML Table with the results.
