I have a master page with a number of child pages, I would like to know how to add different keyword Meta tags to each page,

I use VB, and a codebehind page if this is relavant.

Thanks for help in advance

 might be an idiot, but I don't care to admint it :)

The problem with this code is that if java script is turned off the code will not work.

 

Any other solutions please

Maybe you should look at the page again, where you'll see

Meta tag
HtmlMeta meta = new HtmlMeta();
meta.Name = "keywords";
meta.Content = "Your keywords here";
this.Header.Controls.Add(meta);

Maybe i'm just crazy, but i don't see anything even remotely concerning javascript in that snip of code that deals with adding a Meta tage from the child page (isn't this what you asked for?)

This is much simplier than you think. Foe example here is a snippet that fires in a web form that is using a master page.

protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlMeta _metaTag = new HtmlMeta();
    System.Web.UI.HtmlControls.HtmlHead _head = (HtmlHead)Page.Header;

    _metaTag.Name = "keywords";
    _metaTag.Content = "C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET";
    _head.Controls.Add(_metaTag);
}

See: HtmlHead Class

The output is as follows: meta name="keywords" content="C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET"

HTH,
Steven

hello.  i have been able to get this to work... however, i woudl like to create a class with this functionality in it, so that i could just call a function from each of the content pages and not have to have the code above on each content page's page_load.

so, again, the idea:

1.  create metatags.cs class
2.  call a function from page_load of content page that passes the keywords and description
3.  metatags class function does the work

this all seems great, except i get an error in the class in reference to that Page.Header call above.  i'm wondering if i need to pass something else in in order to make a reference to the Page.Header in a different way?  any ideas?

thanks, c

Relish, its always good to let us know what error you're receiving. However seeing what you're asking it seems you just need to pass a reference to the Page object in your function. Example:

(Assuming your function is Shared)

MyMetaTagHandler.SetMetaTags(Page)
