Hi,

Im trying to create a MasterPage with ContentPlaceHolders in it. I have no problem adding the ContentPlaceHolders to the MasterPage. However I cant seem to put the ContentPlaceHolder anywhere I wish to on the page or change their size.

I wish to have two ContentPlaceHolders on the page, one is for a menu that changes depending on which page the user is viewing, and one where Ill add information on aspx pages.

I tried creating a Table but VS doesnt allow me to put the ContentPlaceHolder within it so my guess is thats not a valid thing to do :-\

I also tried with <div> and then I can say that I want it to be aligned "center" (although VS then says that "align" is outdated and I should use a newer construct). And anyway, I cant place two ContentPlaceHolders next to eachother, they get situated either above or below eachother.

Anyone know what I should do?
 
Did it give an error when you tried placing it within a table? You definately should be able to use tables in the master to handle positioning of place holders.

If you are looking at using DIVs for placement then CSS styles are the prefered way to approach the problem now.
 
When I tried to drag and drop the ContentPlaceHolder (CPH) via the Design view the mouse pointer turned into a circle with a line in it and nothing happened, no error message.

But now I tried to add the CPH via the Source view and then it worked! But I cant see the CPH in the Table when I look in the Design view (all I see is the table)...

I added some text to the two CPHs I created and the text is printed in the design view, but there is no borders/lines/marker around it. What Im trying to get at is that when I then create my aspx-pages it would make more sense to see a border or something around the area that constitutes the CPH?! Or am I missing something?

Thanks for the help!
