conditional rendering

[tictike]

I'm new to asp.net

If I put a <script></script> tag above the </body> tag in my master page, is there a way to only have that block of code render / be sent to the client IF item.aspx is loaded? And if products.aspx or default.aspx is loaded have that <script></script> block NOT render?

Is that what conditional rendering is?

Sounds like you want to use <asp:ContentPlaceholder> in your master page. Then item.aspx will have <asp:Content> tags with content in it and products.aspx will not.

Or if you put the content in the masterpage's ContentPlaceholder you can put an empty <asp:Content> in products.aspx which will render nothing.

You can do that?!?!

So right now my master page has one <asp:ContentPlaceholder> tag for item.aspx content, products.aspx content etc.

So you're saying I can have 2 <asp:ContentPlaceholder> tags in the master page and if any page is loaded and does not have a corresponding <asp:Content> tag then the placeholder just won't populate?

Anything in the master page's ContentPlaceholder is the default that will render unless a content page overrides it.

There are two ways to look at it. If the masterpage's ContentPlaceholders are empty then yes, what you say is correct. If the ContentPlaceholders in the masterpage contains the item.aspx information then you'll have to put an empty Content tag in the products.aspx and default.aspx page to override it with nothing.

Perfect! Thank you.

For scripts, one is better off using the RegisterClientScript() method of the Page class, especially if you are registering scripts from controls that might be repeated as it is capable of keeping multiple requests straight.

That said, adding a <Content> in the header for random page use isn't half bad.

It won't be repeated. The script just has to be on one page. So your saying it's ok to use the contentplaceholder technique that NAWA-mark suggested?

Yes it is. I use that method all the time and it works great
