question about viewstate

Hi,

when enableviewstate="true" i can see in the page source something like:
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" 
value="/wEPDwUKLTE2MjY5MTY1NQ8WAh4FY291bnRmFgICA==" />

Now i do enableviewstate="false" in the same page. But in the page source, i 
still can see:
<input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE"
value="/wEPDwUKLTE2MjY5MTY1

Is this normal? Why is that hiddenfield still present when 
enableviewstate="false"?

Thanks
Britt

Re: question about viewstate

Yes, this is normal. There is some minimum information that is kept there. 
It should not affect you in any way.
