That code looks as if it should work for me. &nbsp;The only thing I can guess is your label controls are nested deeper in a page inside a control that extends the naming convention one step deeper, so Page.FindControl won't work. &nbsp;You need to find this inner control and use the findcontrol there.<br />
<br />
If you posted your aspx page, I could tell you what you could try.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a series of html labls on my page with the runat=&quot;server&quot; added to the tag.<br />
<br />
Each &lt;label&gt; tag has an id and I created an array of the id names. &nbsp;I am trying to loop thru the array and find the labels on the page and perform an action.<br />
<br />
This is what I tried, but it does not find the element on the page:<br />
<br />
protected void Find()<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; string[] controls = { &quot;a&quot;, &quot;b&quot;, &quot;c&quot;, &quot;d&quot; };<br />
<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; foreach (string ctrl in controls)<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; {<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; HtmlGenericControl lbl = (HtmlGenericControl)Page.F<wbr />indControl<wbr />(ctrl);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; lbl.Visible = false;<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; //Response.Write(lbl);<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; }<br />
<br />
How can I loop thru these page elements by their id?<br />
<br />
In javascript, it was just a matter of using getElementById, and I thought I could use FindControl with .net, but it doesn't seem to work.<br />
<br />
Thanks for any help.

loop thru HTML generic controls

The successor to Active Server Pages, ASP.NET websites utilize the .NET framework to produce dynamic, data and content-driven web applications and services. ASP.NET code can be written using any .NET supported language. As of 2009, ASP.NET can also apply the Model-View-Controller (MVC) pattern to web applications
