LinkButton in MasterPage

I have a simple linkbutton and a function when it's clicked. It works
perfectly in a regular .aspx page. However, when I place it inside the
ContentPlaceHolder, it no longer works. It does *something*, but
certainly not the function, which is also in the ContentPlaceHolder.
This is also true concerning any events in there.

Any ideas?

Thanks for any help!
 
You haven't shown us the troublesome code so its hard to know what you're
trying to do. Here's a linkbutton in a master page that does something... it
puts the date on the label.

Let us know more about your problem and show the code?

Good point! :) Here's an abriged version:

<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master"
Title="Employee Menu" AutoEventWireup="true"%>

<script runat="server">
Protected Sub gotoAOB1(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs)
Response.Redirect("/index.aspx")
End Sub
</script>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent"
Runat="Server">
<asp:LinkButton ID="LinkButton1" runat="server"
OnClick="gotoAOB1">LinkButton</asp:LinkButton>
<br />
</asp:Content>

When it's on it's own page, it's fine. But when it's inside the
contentPlaceHolder... well... it just sits there!

Did you remember to change the ID of the ContentPlaceHolder so they match?
You seem to be using the name "MainContent".

Here's some sample code that works for me. Let us know if it helps?
