Hi, I have created a simple page in HTML which works fine. But when I import that to ASP.NET, the page design clutters up.
Here is my Site.Master
<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="Site.master.cs" Inherits="Elite.WUI.Site" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
<title></title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="styles.css" />
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="headerCPH" runat="server">
<div id="header">
<h1>WUI</h1>
</div>
<hr />
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="navigationCPH" runat="server">
<div id="navigation">
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>Users</li>
<li>Campaigns</li>
<li>Settings</li>
</ul>
</div>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="contentCPH" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</form>
</body>
</html>
my stylesheet styles.css
#navigation
{
float: left;
border: 1pt solid;
}
#navigation ul
{
list-style-type: none;
padding: 5 5 5 5;
margin: 0;
}
#content
{
margin-left: 9%;
border: 1pt solid;
padding-left: 5;
}
and the actual page derived from master page
<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="ABC.aspx.cs" Inherits="Elite.WUI.ABC" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="contentCPH" runat="server">
<div id="content">
<p>Test content</p>
</div>
</asp:Content>
Here is how it is displayed in Firefox (ver 3.6)
As you can see that the border, list-style-type properties are working but margin isn't working. Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? I have tested it in Google Chrome but same issue. While the HTML and CSS works fine when there is no ASP.NET i.e. simple .html file.
