Question

I have an old ASP.NET 1.1 site that I am maintaining. We are working with Google to place analytics code on all pages. Since I can’t take advantage of master pages in 1.1, I have my pages include headers/footers/sidebars with User Controls.

What came to mind first is to place the JavaScript in my footer ascx control so it appears on every page. But I don’t think I can link to a JavaScript file from a user control.

Any ideas on what I can do to get this js code placed on every page in my site?

Answer 1

Create a base page class and load the script in base page. Further inherit all pages from base page.

Other way could be same as that suggested by Tomalak

HtmlGenericControl jscriptFile = new HtmlGenericControl(); jscriptFile.TagName = 'script'; jscriptFile.Attributes.Add('type', 'text/javascript'); jscriptFile.Attributes.Add('language', 'javascript');  jscriptFile.Attributes.Add('src', ResolveUrl('myscriptFile.js')); this.Page.Header.Controls.Add(myJs);
