Suggestion regarding Top/footer includes

Hello,

I have the following situation. On all of my pages I would like to include a top and footer ascx file. Therefore I created two user controls. Now the the top.ascx contains another usercontrol which is a menu and shown in a table and each link in that menu is seperated with a line break. Somethin like this:

link1
link2
link3
...

Now this menu is in a table. The table looks like this:

<table width="100%">
<tbody>
<tr valign="top">
<td width="15%">
MENU HERE
</td>
<td>
CONTENT WILL BE HERE
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table
Now I need to get rid of everything what comes after the MENU HERE <TD>, because this will be used for my main content. and the table will be closed then in the footer. However webmatrix always adds the missing html tags and therefore my table always looks like shown above. I hope that you guys understand what I mean. Is there anything I can do or is this is the wrong way?

ThanksI recommend that you use MasterPages, where you place the footer/header in that template.

Arent MasterPages only in 2.0? I am using 1.1.
Nop, try to download this forum code and see how master pages are being used.

regards.
Thanks haider_balal,

I can imagine that the code for this forum is complicated and that it contains a lot of stuff. Isnt there an easier article which explains master pages in 1.1?
Hello, try to check this and give me your opinion:

MasterPages Templating Framework

regards.
2.0 will be so much fun
Why wait till asp.net 2.0 ? We can still use it in 1.1 !!!!!

regards.

Suggestion Regarding Securing the ASP.NET Web Page......

Hi Everybody,
I have problem regarding security of the page. I want that the every asp.net
web page is accessed via application. If a user directly access the page via
writing the address of the page in the address bar. Then It should be
blocked to access the page.
I have two options in my mind.
1. Using Query String Parameters
2. Using Session Object
But I got the following problem with these techniques.
WIth Query String the problem is that if the user access the page via
application then the query string parameters are shown in the address bar so
there he can used these parameters in the direct access, which i did not
want.
With Session Object, If the user login from the application then its session
is created. so now he can write the direct address in the address bar to
access the page directly which i dont want.
Actully My application is frames base application.
There are threee frames vertically
1) Header
2) Body ( Body Portion contains the two horizontal frames )
2.1) Menu
2.2) Content
3) Footer
In the menu area user selects the menu and against that menu the page is
loaded in the content portion.
So please help me how can i block user to access the page directly.
Regards,
Muhammad Jamil NawazThe Request object will have an HttpRequest.UrlReferrer Property. If this
property does not have a value then it means that the user has typed the
URI. This is not a foolproff method though but can still keep the average
user.

Use Session.
Use the sessionstate as "auto" mode (not cookieless = false) to also
take care of scenarios where cookies may be disabled (a large section
of corporates disable cookies).
