General:
I need to dynamically change the class of a DIV element on pageload. I
have not been able to find any resources describing how to access the
page DOM from code behind. Can someone point me to a resources.

Specific:
I have web user control with a property that controls the class applied
to a DIV element. On page load I need to find the element by ID and
change the class.

Thanks,
BP

What you can do is give the div runat="server" and id="<a name>"
attributes. ASP.NET will then wire up an HtmlGenericControl for you in
the code-behind file, and you can modify properties like Style, etc,
from code-behind.

I have to answer myself, but I wasn't looking for answer long, and I want to share it with others. The solution is simple - follow Scott's replay and when you want to set class you simple add in code behind something like x.Attributes.Add("class", "hidden"); where HtmlGenericControl x. Hope this is correct.
