Switch at runtime between Child master.pages

You're welcome. Glad it's working now.

Out of curiosity: do you know what you had differently in your site?

After I redid my my site I realised that the reason ( onselectedindexchanged ) was not working was becouse I was using ( jquery.selectbox-0.5.js ) in my dropdownlist.

Once I removed this method -

Code:

 
<script src="../JavaScript/JQuery/jquery.selectbox-0.5.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
  <script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
      $('#Themes').selectbox();
    });
  </script>

I have now been experimenting trying to find a way aound this but no luck so far.

Thanks

Haven't used that plugin myself so I can't help much, but this thread may explain why it's not firing: http://forums.asp.net/t/1757226.aspx...ry+not+working+

Hi

Words can't describe how greatful I'm for all the help.

I'm almost done with this book and I thought that I will give MVC3 a shot so I just thought I'd ask before I jump into the unknown... will switching between themes and childmaster.pages work in the same way as in regular Asp.net 4?

Thanks in advance

Hi there,

Not really. Both themes and master pages work quite different in MVC. What you could reuse is the CSS and images (and HTML), but you need logic to switch between the themes. Here are some ideas:

You could link to the CSS files from the master page views, so you only need to switch the master page, and not the theme anymore.

Cheers,
