    Access to body ID of Master Page

    In VS 2005,

    I need to get access to the body tag which I have set up on my Master Page
    as:

    <body ID="MyBody" runat="server">

    But when do something like:

    MyBody.Attribut e.Add("onload", "GetAccounts()" );

    But I get:

    Error 1 The name 'MyBody' does not exist in the current context

    I also tried Page.MyBody, but that doesn't work either.

    How can I put attributes on the body tag from a child page or control?

    Thanks,

    Tom

      You need to access the MasterPage property of your page or control, then
      cast it to the type of your MasterPage. The MasterPage property is cast to
      the MasterPage base type so it won't have any of the properties or controls
      you may create within the master page, unless you cast it to the specific
      master page type, like
      ((mysite.pages. mymaster)this.M asterPage).MyBo dy.Attribute.Ad d("onload","Get Accounts()");

      Hope this helps,

          You need to access the MasterPage property of your page or control, then

          Not sure what you mean here.

          Is "mysite" my namespace? I tried that but got an error. I also can't find
          an entry that will allow my to put pages in. Also what is mymaster?

          Thanks,
