Hi, so for my .net project I've to use HTML/CSS provided by another colleague. Ive copied this into the site master page in .net but it doesn't appear in the child pages, anyone have any ideas how I can fix this. The code is:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head id="Head1" runat="server">
    <title>Reports | StoreIT</title>
    <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="head" runat="server">
        <meta charset="UTF-8!"/>

        <link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>

        <!-- Link the CSS files to see the styling -->
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/reset.css"/>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/bootstrap.min.css"/>
        <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/custom.css"/>

        link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,600' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

        <!-- Link angular, including the route file either CDN or local -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="angular/angular.min.js"></script>
        <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.6/angular-route.min.js"></script>

        <!-- Link all other javascript files -->
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/jquery-1.11.1.min.js"></script>
        <script src="js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/respond.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/main.js"></script>
        </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container-fluid">

                <div class="spacer"></div>
            </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
         </section>
        <section class="col-md-5 col-sm-5 col-xs-5 second-content">
            <asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder4" runat="server">
                <h1>{Report Name}</h1>
                <h3>{Dates}</h3>
                <hr/>

                <!-- Add Report Content here -->

               <button class="btn btn-success pull-right">Download Report</button>
            </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
        </section>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

When I create a new page it comes up as:

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Site1.Master" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeBehind="WebForm1.aspx.cs" Inherits="reporting.WebForm1" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="head" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content2" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content3" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder2" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content4" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder3" runat="server">
</asp:Content>
<asp:Content ID="Content5" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder4" runat="server">
</asp:Content>

Ok, when you create a masterpage, you add contentPlaceHolder controls in the master as a placeholder for the "child page". In your example, your master page includes 5 of these controls.

so when you create a "child" page, you see ONLY see content controls. So in your example, if you were to add content to the content control with an id="Content5", that content will be rendered in the master in this section...

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder4" runat="server">
  <h1>{Report Name}</h1>
  <h3>{Dates}</h3>
  <hr/>
  <!-- Add Report Content here -->
  <button class="btn btn-success pull-right">Download Report</button>
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

This is because in your child, Content5 maps back to ContentPlaceHolder4 in the master page.

Thank you, was able to get it working :)
