MasterPage and ClientScript

jmcpeak · November 7th, 2005, 12:21 AM

I seem to be having problems with RegisterClientScriptBlock() when using MasterPages. No matter where I use RegisterClientScriptBlock(), the script is not added to the page. I've tried it in the Page_Load() and Page_Init() methods on both Master and Content pages. Just to check, I created a normal .aspx file and used RegisterClientScriptBlock() there and everything was hunky dory.

I can't seem to find any information on this issue, so any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,

Do you have other code in the content or master page that messes something up?? RegisterClientScriptBlock works fine for me in a content page.

BTW, Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock is now obsolete; you should use ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock

And http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q...master+page%22 brings up quite some useful results.

Cheers,

Imar

Aye, I was using Page.ClientScript.RegisterClientScriptBlock().

As it turns out, I didn't have a form in my page, which seems to be causing the problem. I had performed quite a few Google searches, but nothing worthwhile came to my attention.

So as it stands now, I'm just a moron for not having the form in the page. Thanks for the reply!

Ha, I see. Can imagine that Google didn't tell you to add a form.... ;)

BTW, did you know you can add a ContentPlaceHolder to the <head>, so you can add custom JavaScript to a content page without the messy RegisterClientScript method?
