I'm getting the error message ""content is not supported outside script or asp:content regions"

Does anyone know what the problem is?

What you are showing is the entire html page structure outside of content regions, for a page that uses a master page. That makes no sense. The master page will have the page's HTML structure, and one or more content regions where you add the page-specific content. The page-specific content does not contain page structure that is already in the master page: no <html>, no <head>, no <body>. It only contains html elements that make sense where the content regions are. Look at your master page and see the structure.

Typical structure for a page using a master page (just an example, not all scripts, etc included). Notice it does not have the html tags that will be provided by the master page:

<%@ Page Title="Contact" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Contact.aspx.cs" Inherits="Contact" %>

<asp:Content ID="BodyContent" ContentPlaceHolderID="MainContent" runat="server">
    <h2><%: Title %>.</h2>
    <h3>Your contact page.</h3>
    <address>
        One Microsoft Way<br />
        Redmond, WA 98052-6399<br />
        <abbr title="Phone">P:</abbr>
        425.555.0100
    </address>

    <address>
        <strong>Support:</strong>   <a href="mailto:Support@example.com">Support@example.com</a><br />
        <strong>Marketing:</strong> <a href="mailto:Marketing@example.com">Marketing@example.com</a>
    </address>
</asp:Content>

The corresponding master page, which contains the doctype, html, head, body and form tags, as well as common content (menu, footer):

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="Site.master.cs" Inherits="SiteMaster" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html lang="en">
<head runat="server">
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
</head>
<body>
    <form runat="server">
        <div class="navbar navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top">
            <div class="container">
                <div class="navbar-header">
                    <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target=".navbar-collapse">
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                        <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                    </button>
                    <a class="navbar-brand" runat="server" href="~/">Application name</a>
                </div>
                <div class="navbar-collapse collapse">
                    <ul class="nav navbar-nav">

                        <li><a runat="server" href="~/Contact">Contact</a></li>
                    </ul>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="container body-content">

            </footer>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

Hi Joe_p123,

As far as I think,Master pages allow you to create a consistent look and behavior for all the pages (or group of pages) in your web application. And the content should be added in the <asp:content>.

The master page contains a placeholder tag <asp:ContentPlaceHolder> for individual content.

The id="xxxx" attribute identifies the placeholder, allowing many placeholders in the same master page.

More details,you could refer to below codes:

Masterpage:

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
    </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
    <script src="Scripts/jquery-3.0.0.js"></script>
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
