ASCX as Header/Footer

Peter Wu

Hello,

I want to create a Header and Footer for every ASPX page I build. I
created 2 Web user controls respectively and placed them in an ASPX page.
The problem is that I cannot position the Footer to be always at the
bottom of the page. The Header and Footer are always together at the top
of the page.

Was I missing anything? Thanks!

Sounds like an html prob.

A usercontrol will show up where it has been placed with in your document
structure. Similar to SSI.

Double check to make sure your HTML is well formed in your page and ASCX
(and the combined HTML output.)
Even if it was well formed to begin with, sometimes the designer "helps" you
by adding closing HTML elements in places where you didn't want them.

Just drag or cut/paste the footer control down to the bottom of the page

Unfortunately, it does not work. :(

I use all user controls on most of my sites. I use header, top navigation,
left navigation content to the right and a footer. Each of these elements is
a user control. The trick is to be sure that your code makes sense from top
to bottom tracking it all the way through your user controls as if it were
one page without user controls.

There is an example of this method at http://islandclub.us

I think ASP.NET generates the HTML code correctly. Now, it is the IE
problem. Why doesn 't IE display the copyright claim at the bottom?

Try putting the header and footer into separate files.
That way you can use them anywhere you want.

Why not try creating a base page class that already has
the header and footer interface defined. Then all your
pages can just derive from this.

OIC, it looks like you are using GridLayout.
Notice how all your web controls have pixel positions listed? Well your
header and footer do not. This is basically the same as saying that
the top & left are 0,0 (at the top of the form)
Either give them pixel positions or switch your page to Flow Layout and
get rid of all the positioning HTML code.

I still use GridLayout for the form and give the Footer the pixel position
like this:

<uc1:Footer id="Footer1" runat="server" style="Z-INDEX: 107; LEFT: 0px;
POSITION: absolute; TOP: 500px"></uc1:Footer>

But it does not help. The rendered HTML just loses the position specified.
Please help!
