Chapter 11 - Page 377

rdze57 · October 6th, 2010, 12:02 PM

Hey Imar,

First thing I would like to say is "Great book". I'm going chapter by chapter and have learned something new in each section.

My question is about step 4 in the Try It out section on page 377.

When I select to view the Smart Tag, my only option is to "Default to Master's Content".

Have I missed something? Is this a configuration item or am I clicking on the wrong item?

I get to this stage by locating the cpClientScript placeholder in Design View, right clicking, then selecting "Show Smart Tag".

Your directions state I should choose "Create Custom Content", but I do not see that option.

P.S.: In step 4, cpClientScript is misspelled as cpClientScipt

Hi there,

How does the code for the Master Page look? And that of the BasicSelectors.aspx page?

Re Scipt: Yep; it's already on the errata list. http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...Cd-ERRATA.html

Cheers,

Imar

The master has the following code at the bottom before the end of the form:
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="cpClientScript" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

And the BasicSelector page has this code below the first line...

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="cpMainContent" Runat="Server">
<h1>Basic Selectors</h1>
<div class="SampleClass">I am a div.</div>
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="cpClientScript" Runat="Server">
<script type="text/javascript">
$(function () {
$('*').css('color', 'red');
$('#Footer').css('border-bottom', '2px solid black');
$('h1').bind('click', function () { alert('Hello World') });
$('.SampleClass').addClass('PleaseWait').hide(5000 );
$('#Footer, #Header').slideUp('slow').slideDown('slow');
$('#Sidebar img').fadeTo(5000, 0.1);
});
</script>
</asp:Content>

It looks like the code you specified in the sample...

I am sure it looks like the code from the book. However, you're seeing something different, so something must indeed be different, no?

By posting the code you make it easier for me to reproduce the problem, resulting in faster answers. The alternative is that we spent 15 e-mails exchanging questions about what might be the problem.... ;-) Your call.....

Yes. I posted the code in the response earlier, but it had yet to update on the page. While waiting I posted my observation.

Thank you for taking a look.

Your page already has the ClientScript placeholder:

<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="cpClientScript" Runat="Server">

You only see the menu I described when you create a new page based on the template that *doesn't* yet have the PlaceHolder....

Hope this helps,

Imar

*smiles back* Somehow I overlooked the post with the code (never made it to my e-mail). All I saw was the "it looks the same" message.

Sorry...

Not a problem.

Believe it or not, I'm using your book to learn how to do ASP.Net with COBOL instead of the traditional C# or VB.Net

The fun part is translating syntax to corresponding COBOL.Net constructs.

I'm using Visual COBOL from Micro Focus (http://www.microfocus.com/visualcobol)

Interesting.... Is it working well for you so far?
