Don't load skinobject when certain control loads

<scriptrunat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        If Request.Url.PathAndQuery.ToLower().IndexOf("ctl=register") > -1 Or _
           Request.Url.PathAndQuery.ToLower().IndexOf("ctl=login") > -1 Then
            dnnSEARCH.visible = false
        End If
End Sub
</script>

Check to make sure that the ID of your search SkinObject is actually called dnnSEARCH

It may just be "search".

 < dnn:Search runat="server" cssclass="search" id="search" showSite="False" showWeb="False" />

<scriptrunat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        If Request.Url.PathAndQuery.ToLower().IndexOf("ctl=register") > -1 Or _
           Request.Url.PathAndQuery.ToLower().IndexOf("ctl=login") > -1 Then
            search.visible = false
        End If
End Sub
</script>

So you do have a search skin object in your skin right?

< dnn:Search runat="server" cssclass="search" id="search" showSite="False" showWeb="False" />

I tested this code and it works in my skin on 4.5.3

If you want, you can attach the skin to your next post and I'll take a look.

John,

Well, that works but I had the same code at the same place...never mind...it works now Thanks a million

Maybe the Url does not have ctl=login where you expect it.

To Test, try adding a Response.write statment just above the code that checks the Url.

<scriptrunat="server">
Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Response.write Request.Url.PathAndQuery
If Request.Url.PathAndQuery.ToLower().IndexOf("ctl=login") > -1 Then
dnnDOCUMENTSSUMMARY.Visible = False
End If
End Sub
</script>
