<Head>Tag

Ok I have a bit of a problem with a Server control I am building. I need to
write a client-side Javascript block between the open and closing Head tag.
I have tried the following methods:

first attempt
Page.Response.AppendHeader(someStringBuilder);
result:
Returned nothing on the page.

Second attempt
if(!Page.IsStartupScriptRegistered("startup")){

StringBuilder jsLoad=new StringBuilder();

jsLoad.Append(@"Some Javascript");

string CMSCScript=jsLoad.ToString();

Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock("startup",CMSCScript);

}

Result:

Returned Client Script at the top between the Open and Close <Body> tags.

I need to place the script block between the Open and Close <Head> tags.
Can someone tell me how this is done? By the way, for the above code I
override the PreRender() method.

Can someone please help me with this or lead me to the right web site for a
guide. Thank you.

I am Sam- :-)

Here's a guy who wrote a whole article on it :)
http://www.codeproject.com/aspnet/scriptregister.asp

My simple solution would be to give the <head> tag a runat=server attribute
so can manipulate its contents with asp.

Your first solution is a good joke I hope you learned by now ;)

Cheers,
Tom Pester

asp.net doesn't support this directly.

1) Page.Response.AppendHeader(), adds a response header , which comes before
any html.
2) Page.RegisterClientScriptBlock(), renders the script block (you must
include the script tags), right after the <form>
3) Page.RegisterStartupScript, renders the script block right before the
</form>

if you want to add code in the header, you need to add a runat on the
header. then using the HtmlGeneric control you can create script blocks. or
you can get the innerHtml from the header, and insert the script blcks
directly.

<header id="myHeader" runat=server>
</header>

Thanx Bruce for replying.

I need to be able to place the client script directly from the custom server
control I'm building. How can I set the containing page head tag directly
from my server control to Runat="server" if I can't access the Head tag
element from my control to begin with?
