Master page - Accessing the <body> tag WITHOUT runat = server

12/19/2007 9:06:50 PM

I have a problem.

As we know when aadding runat=server to the body tag in the masterpage For example <body id="test" runat=server>

the output would be

<body id="ct100_test"> I cannot have this.

I need to Dynamically (magically or whatever) add the ID to the body tag

So for example. We are in the page Mypage1.aspx I need the ID of the body tag to be (id="Mypage1" )

I need to change this id from Mypage1.aspx

How do I accomplish this?

Is it possible?

For one I have absolute control over the DOm per page.

Have you never used the technique of adding an ID to the body tag so you can change certain things with in a page?

I guess if you constantly use runat server then you dont since EVERYTHIGN would then have to be a class...... This completly ANNOYS the hell out of me. WHY in the &((^ is ct100_ added to any html tag that has the runat server??????????

Here is why....

Because MasterPage's implement "INamingContainer", that's why

And you can name the ID of the masterpage if you want.... in the PreInit event of it simply say:

Me.ID = "WhateverYouWantItToBe"

And you could even go one step futher:

In the .master page:

<body id="BodyTag" runat="server">

In the code behind page:

Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init
        Me.ID = "master"
        Dim PageName As String = HttpContext.Current.Request.ServerVariables("SCRIPT_NAME").ToLower()
        If PageName.Contains("/") Then PageName = PageName.Substring(PageName.LastIndexOf("/") + 1)
        BodyTag.ID = PageName.Replace(".aspx", String.Empty)
End Sub

That would result in the page's <body> tag being:

If you understood the power of dotnet it wouldn't bother you at all. You just need to get used to learning a new way to do things every 3 to 5 years from now on.

That actually is not the answer.

and I do understand the power of .net. In theory.

There are some things about .net that I will complain and *** about since I KNOW they are a wrong way of doing things.

Sometimes in dot net to open a dorr you need to go outside open all the windows go inside open all the dorrs except the one that needs to be open then go outside and unlock the actual door.

THAT is a pain in the ass.

No, it just means that it's wrong for you and your situation

You could solve this issue by simply using a class instead of the ID, so instead of:

<body id="MyPage1"> use <body class="home">

which could easily be applied to the aspx page

Me.Body.Attributes.Add("class","home")

and your CSS could be like, and i am using examples from the links you gave above

instead of:

body#home p { color: #69C; }

use

body.home p { color: #69C; }

problem solved, and all without mucking with the way .NET wants to name it's controls

yes I could do that. And I will .BUT that doesnt make it right....

Done trying. Seems ASp.net MAKES you code css the wrong way *sight*

I guess most asp.net people just gave up trying to use CSS the way its supposed to and to make it even worse semantic HTML (I don't think it exists in asp.net world) is out the door.....

I have no idea how long you have been programming, but obviously it hasn't been all that long... as you would have learned by now there is no one "right" way to do something... just because you read that guy's blog post on "what you should do" is simply his opinion, and absolutely nothing more...

Whatever though, you've got two solutions (and using Themes would be three) that would solve your problem, but guess that's not good enough for you.....can't say a few of us didn't try..

good luck in your future programming endeavors... perhaps sticking with HTML is the best answer

Having done web development for over a decade I find asp.net to be easy, powerful and fast. Particularly compared to the old C language Common Gateway Interface application development. If you are having this much difficulty, maybe you aren't doing things right and only think you are. The best solution there, is to find a different platform to work with since you won't listen to the guideance given by the people who actually know what they are doing. I had the same attitude about the Oracle Corp. implementation of Java. That is why I no longer work with it. The problem wasn't Oracle's Java, the problem was me, so I made a change.

P. S. If you rant too much they block your account from posting any more. Just so you know.
