HTML & page design

I am developing a website and would like to minimise the amount of repeated
code/features. As all pages will follow a standard template it would be
advantageous to code this page template once then incorporate it as a user
control or similar.

The template will basically be a table layout 2 rows and 2 cols:
top left cell has the logo
top right cell ha the header
bottom left cell has the menu
bottom right cell has the body

I presently have user controls for all four cells but am having to repeat
the table on every page which makes updating the main layout a pain as I
have multiple pages to update this information in. I can create this table
as a user control then incorporate that into my aspx pages simply enough but
I need control over the contents of the bottom left and right cells as the
menu options will vary depending upon the page being displayed as will the
body of the page (bottom right cell).

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Have you tryed PlaceHolders in the bottom left and bottom right cells
(WebUserContol) ? That way you can add the disired controls in Page_Load. Or
the control can be implemented as a composite control.

I add several JavaScript events (onchange, onkeypress, etc.) to Controls using the Add method of the Attributes collection. However, if the JavaScript code contains certain characters, such as & or < or several others, it converts them to html, such as &amp; or &lt; which can sometimes cause my scripts not to work. How can I prevent ASP.NET from doing this? Thanks. -- Nathan Sokalski njsokalski@hotmail.com http://www.nathansokalski.com/
