Hi,
Have you tried debugging your code? Is your linkbutton click event is getting fired?

Ok. But you can do it without placeholder also. Right? Simply manage visibilty of textbox on linkbutton click. Anyways what is the issue you getting now? While clicking Linkbutton your textbox is not becoming visible?

Hi Joma,
What exactly is your requirement? Why are you using placeholder control here?
