Adding a .css to <head> tag from codebehind?

Guest · Apr 28, 2005

I'm inheriting from a custom page class instead of System.Web.UI.Page, and I
want to add a .css or .js link to the page's <head> tag. Can this be done?

I tried this using but it just adds it to the bottom of the page....I need
to somehow reference the <head> server-side?

HtmlGenericControl link = new HtmlGenericControl("LINK");
link.Attributes.Add("rel","stylesheet");
link.Attributes.Add("type","text/css");
link.Attributes.Add("href","/Css/Main.css");
Controls.Add(link);

the supported method is to add a placeholder control in the header section,
that you can update in the code behind. you can also add a runat=server on
the header.

if you want to be tricky, you can walk the page controls collection, peek at
the html in the of generic controls that exist before the form control for
the <header> tag, and update the html.

Bruce,

Just curious, what do you mean by supported method? I was trying to find
something on msdn about this. If you have a link, I'd be interested. Thanks,
Dave
