Thanks for this post. I am upgrading to asp.net 3.5 from an asp.net 1.1 dreamweaver-made website and I have been very reluctant to use master pages instead of user controls for layout because I do not know how each content page will be able to add .css and .js files that are for specific content pages, not for all pages. Also how do you add a meta page title and description for each page if you use master pages? Any pointers would be appreciated. Thanks

Newbe, So if you look at a master page, you declare your ContentPlacement areas, one can be in the head of the page and contain the title. If you create a master page in Visual Studio 2008, it already sets it like this. So you can set the title and meta tags and anything else in the head of the page.

That and many more hints can be found at:

Madhu, not sure what you mean. There are some timer controls you can use if you want to signal an event. Or do you mean like show the current time or like a countdown timer?

Hi,

This is great, thanks. But what if the form was set up to submit? I've been struggling with this for a while, and the only soluition I had is to make a separate html page (not attached to master), and leaving that as form/action.

Any help? Thanks.

Jean,

The easiest way is to change the form. You can only have one main form on the page so it is difficult to get it to be used that way.
