Hi all,

I wanted to know if there is an automated way of getting the same hyperlink on all my dot.net pages, instead of doing it manually on every page.

For eg:

If I want a link that says "Home" on all the pages which brings back the control to the Homepage...is there a way to do it without typing and linking it on every page manually????

Similarly, the "Back" functionality...Please give me ideas

Thanks :)

you could use the ASP.Net's Master page.

Awesome, seems like a solution for the 'home' bit... Do we have a similar functionality for going back a step? as in every page shud be able to go back to the last page

If the user wants to go "back" they'll use the back button on their browser.

As like same place anchor in your master page, when you click on the anchor trigger javascript to go back.

Use a Master Page in your application to contain all navigation links as well as the header or footer. And put your variable contents in content page.

In case of ASP.NET use Layout Page to do the same.

Hi, everything ele is alright but I am kinda in a fix, you see there are different kinds of users for this application, because of which the home page is different...I can't configure that in the master page, or can I using the session element??
