Question

I’ve set a specific width to the body div in my Master Page and I want to change that in a Child Page that belongs to the Master Page. Is this possible? I’ve been searching and I think what I need is javascript.

I haven’t used javascript before though, but here’s what I’ve tried:

<asp:Content ID="HeaderContent" runat="server" ContentPlaceHolderID="HeadContent">

    <script type="text/javascript">
      {
            document.getElementById("pagediv").style.width = "200px";
        }
    </script>

</asp:Content>

Answer 1

You don’t have to use JavaScript. You can also use CSS and have this in your content placeholder.

<style>
    #pagediv { width: 200px !important; }
</style>
