Section?

I would like to create a custom control that generates everything that will
be in the <head> </head> section.

This would allow me to make changes on all pages withing a site in one
location.

But can I do so since the control would not be withing a <form> tag in the
aspx page?

Can I do like so?:

<%@ Page language="c#" Codebehind="contests.aspx.cs" AutoEventWireup="false"
Inherits="MZ.contests" %>
<%@Register TagPrefix="mz" Tagname="HeadSection"
Src="mzControls/HeadSection.ascx" %>

<mz:HeadSection runat="server" />

<body>
..
..
..
..
</body>


And in the custom control:

objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag( "Head" ); objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag(
"Title" );objTextWriter.Write( "Title");objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();
objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag( "meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" );objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();
objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag( "LINK href="/common/css/stylesheet.css"
type="text/css" rel="stylesheet");objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();
objTextWriter.RenderBeginTag( "script language="JavaScript"
src="common/js/global.js"
type="text/JavaScript" );objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();
objTextWriter.RenderEndTag();


NOTICE, I am also trying to render a meta tag, a link tag, and a script tag



Thanks in advance for any help ( Peter :blush:) )

Click to expand...

You're already using a user-control so, unless you really want/need to programmatically
render those tags, I would just put the HTML in the ascx file.

Yes...I see that now. I overcomplicated it.

I just had a hard time imagining that you could insert the control in
the head section....

This is because I thought ALL controls had to be inserted within the
<form></form> tags. Guess I was wrong.

Thanks for the help.
