User Control displayed on top of page

Programmer2006 · Oct 9, 2006

I have a user control that I made for BreadCrumb Navigation. It works great but my problem is that it is on top of my whole page, above my headers. I tried placeing it on the bottom of the page but it shows up on the top anyway. Is there some way to get around this so that I can place my breadcrumb usercontrol below my headers?

Yes, it should be positioned with CSS. Have a read up on HTML and CSS are there are lots of methods you should know about before designing websites.

In the usercontrol do you have the word style, position, or absolute located int the tags?

NO i didn't but when i tried it I had the same problem. Below are the codes for Products.aspx and BreadCrumbs.ascx
BREADCRUMBS.ASCX

namespace WebApplication5
{
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;
using System.Text;

/// <summary>
/// Summary description for BreadCrumb1.
/// </summary>
public abstract class BreadCrumb1 : System.Web.UI.UserControl
{

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{//Product>Foamtreads

String strURL;
String strTrail;
String strReferURL;
String strTemp;
int intLen = 5;
strURL= this.Page.ToString();
if(strURL==("ASP.Products_aspx"))
{
strTrail = "Products";
}
else{

intLen = strURL.Length;
//Response.Write(intLen);
//intLen - _asp.aspx start index is 4
strURL = strURL.Substring(4,(intLen-9));
//Register this with all pages
//Response.Write("Page is "+ strURL);
//Response.Write("Parent is " + Request.UrlReferrer);
strReferURL = Request.UrlReferrer.ToString();
strReferURL = strReferURL.Replace('/','>');
strTrail = strReferURL + ">" +strURL;
string SearchString =("Products");
int FirstChar=strTrail.LastIndexOf(SearchString);
//Response.Write("\nPosition of product\n" + SearchString);
strTemp=strTrail.Remove(0, FirstChar);
int positionASPX = strTemp.IndexOf(".aspx");
//Response.Write(positionASPX);
strTemp = strTemp.Remove(positionASPX,5);
int dashPosition =strTemp.IndexOf("_");
if(dashPosition>-1){
strTemp=strTemp.Replace("_", " ");
}
strTrail = strTemp;
}
Response.Write(strTrail);

}

What is the html in BreadCrumb.ascx?

Programmer2006 · Oct 13, 2006

There is no html in the breadcrumbs.ascx.Sorry I showed the BreadCrumbs.ascx.cs file. The Breadcrumbs.ascx only has 1 line:
<%@ Control Language="c# AutoEventWireup="false" Codebehind="BreadCrumb.ascx.cs "inherits=" Webapplication5BreadCrumb1" TargetSchema="

http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/ie5"%.

Try removing 'MS_POSITIONING="GridLayout"' from the body tag.

removing the gridlayout didn't work but thank you for the suggestion

Hi,

Your BreadCrumb control is after a table and before another one and inside an opening <p>
but you have not closed </p>

Put it inside either a new table or a new row within one of your other tables.

The main problems you are getting are due to the outdated techniques you are using. You should drop the use of tables for layout, get rid of the styling tags (such as <b> and <font>) and move all of the the inline attributes (such as border, height, width etc) into a CSS file.

Have a read up on styling pages with CSS before attempting the layout for this page.

I fixed it...I included a label in my usercontrol;
USERCONTROL:......breadcrumb.ascx the html........
<DIV id="pnlGrid" style="WIDTH: 20px; POSITION: relative; HEIGHT: 48px" runat="server"
ms_positioning="GridLayout"></DIV>
<asp:Label id="Label1" runat="server">Label</asp:Label><br>
.........................................................
added this to the ascx.cs
Label1.Text = strTrail
.................This allowed me to display the label anywhere on my aspx's instead of a Response.Write() which always shows up on the top of a page.
