Hi everyone!
Never before have I had so many problems displaying a message to the user
(being a programmer for the last 4 years)!
What I would like to do is show a message e.g. when a procedure fails, etc.
Tried searching google, tried with divs, managed to 'implant' a div in my
master page to show info and error messages,
but I have two problems with it:
1) dropdown's display on top of this div!
2) can't produce confirm div (stop the javascript code and wait for user
interaction)
So, what would you suggest - recommend me?
Thanks in advance!

Since your ASP.NET code runs on the server and it is the client that is
responsible for messageboxes/confirms/alerts, you can't use server-side code
to do this directly.
The simplest thing to do is just to put an ASP:Label control on the page in
the position you *would* want the message to go, but leave its text property
blank Then, when your server-side code needs to send the client a message
simply fill in the text property of the label. Remember to set the label's
EnableViewState property to false so you don't see old messages.
Or, you could use server-side code to produce client-side javascript, which
could make your messagebox for you:
If someTest Then
response.write( "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE='JavaS cript'>alert('Y ou have done
something bad! ')</SCRIPT>")
End If

thanks! I'll try them both!
One last thing though:
can I use absolute positioning to show the label on the center of the user's
screen?

The two JavaScript methods you need are 'alert' and 'confirm'

Sure, you would need to use your own client-side JavaScript to determine the
center of the screen though and set the label's position prior to populating
it. You can also use a label's visible property to show/hide it as
necessary.

Take a step back here...
How can you display anything on a server...?
Even if you did manage to display a message server-side, who would ever see
it...? Your users certainly wouldn't...:-)
So will the following:
FONT
FACE
SIZE
COLOR
BLOCKQUOTE
BGCOLOR
etc., etc, etc.
If you are using HTML or XHTML Transitional (as millions do), this will not
pose any problem.
