Hi folks. Hey, I noticed that if I start off with a Master page and I get it pretty much set up the way I want using mostly layers, etc, with the area  that I want the content to be located to be in the middle of the page, I can't seem to get the content place holder to resize to the size I want.. For instance, to be more clear. I want to be able to have a header, and a stripe down the sides of the page that I can use for menu's and then use the space between the stripes which is going to be like 400 pixels as the content area.. But, I want that content area to be scrollable if necessary.. Kinda like an I Frame in the middle of the page located at another web site that I help a buddy with from time to time at: http://www.levelheadedbob.com .. Check out the articles for instance and you can see how they open..in the middle of the page and then there is a rotator on top, and the sides are used for links / menu's.. I want to do this again, but I was going to use div area's / layers to show and hide, etc.. and some AJAX controls to round the corners, etc.. etc.. Is this possible? Any tips on using the content place holder or moving it arouond and getting it placed? Should I use a table for the Master page and put the content holder in there? I had hoped to use mostly CSS and Div tags to move stuff around such as place menu's where I wanted, etc, using classes.. Hope this all makes sense.. I just woke up not long ago and need a cig and coffee.. hehe

Hi Tim,

Let's clarify, as your above description, you want to resize the contentplaceholder on the master page, and make the content areat to be scroll of necessary, right?

You can put the contentplaceholder in a div in the master page.  Set the div's overflow is auto, the content area will show the scroll if the content is too long.

for example:

<div style="overflow:auto; height:250px">
        <asp:contentplaceholder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
        </asp:contentplaceholder>
</div>

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Actually, I want the Content place holder to resize on each page if that's possible? I mean, it should resize if you ask me on each new page that I use in the web project. One page might not need to scroll, but another might need to do so. That said, they are all (The content holders on each page) in the same spot / position on the page. Under the header, and to the right of the menu. So, I'm using a basic layout. Header to the top, menu to the left, each in their own Div Tags and positioned using positioning! The Content place holder is in another div below the header div. That said, I want to be able to add more divs is needed inside the Content place holder that will allow me to add more paragraphs of text.. etc, etc.. I'm wondering I guess what's the best way to format these paragraphs? Table inside a Div, Div inside a Div, etc? Each Content place holder just needs to hold several paragraphs of text, but what if I wanted to format the Content holder to hold divs to the left and to the right of each other in a horizontal matter. The divs when I try this stick outside of the content place holder and it won't resize? Hope that all of this makes sense.. You can see an example at: http;//www.seymourchristcovenant.org
