Answer 1

If you set the control visible=false it will not render at client side, But there is a tricky solution, that will accomplish the same thing.

In your page load, where you are set Visible=false, you can set the style to display:none

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
   TextBox1.Attributes.Add("style", "display:none");
}

It will render the control in client side, but user can't see and then you can visible the control in Javascript function to set style Diplay:block, LIKE...

document.getElementById('<%=TextBox2.ClientID %>').style.display = 'block';
