Show div from ASP.NET code

Question

I have this div which is hidden originally:

<div id="loading" class="window">
    <img src="../Images/test.gif" />
</div>

How can I call this div to be shown while a thread is running

Thread thread = new Thread(test);
thread.Start()

private void test()
{
//code to see div
}

edit: I want the div to appear on top of the page so user wont be able to click on anything else

add runat="server" attribute inside div. by this div will work like server control and you can access this in code behind and add attribute

private void test()
{
    loading.Attributes.Add("style", "display:block;");
}

UPDATE

Remove the display:none from the class and replace the div with an ASP.NET control:

<asp:Panel ID="loading" CssClass="window" runat="server" Visible="false">
    <img src="../Images/test.gif" />
</asp:Panel>

Then:

private void test()
{
    loading.Visible = true;
}

Thanks, but I want a div not a panel to be visible on top of everything so that user cannot click on anything else

A Panel will render as a div. There's absolutely no difference between them.

add runat="server" to your div, then access it in the code like: this.yourDivId and you can show it like this.yourDivId.Visible = true;
