Thanks Eirik,
I was doing too at first. Then I needed to add CSS links to each "head"
section of the html. I also wanted to have different css sheets for
different logged on users.
The other problem was that the header was to have a "search" button. I
ended up in a mess with 2 form tags and so on. If you're interested I
found what I think is a good example:
http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/Tutorial/95EBDB54-B8D2-4D33-9DC2-C246793A3A77.dcik
In this you have to code all the controls by hand, rather than drag and
drop. The idea is that the base page has prebuilt containers
(representing Banner, NavBar, Content etc) within the html tags. You
code your child to add controls to these containers. The beauty is that
you get control over both the html head and body. I wish I'd have found
that site 24 hours ago....
cheers
Martin
