    web user control in a master page?

    I have a few master page files on a large site.

    I want them all the share the same footer, but I don't want to re-enter
    the footer text on all of them.

    So I logically thought I could add a web user control to the master page
    which would contain the footer text.

    so I add:

    <%@ Register TagPrefix="gn" TagName="gnfoot er" Src="/gnfooter.ascx"
    %>

    <gn:gnfooter id="ctlFooter" runat="server" />


    but I keep getting an error saying "gnfooter is not a known element".

    Are user controls not allowed in master pages?

    What would the alternative be to this problem?

    Thanks.

      Keyword: Nested masterpages
      UserControls are surely allowed on masterpages,
      check your src-attribute.

          ah yes... "~/gnfooter.ascx" was the solution!

          cheers!

              Hello Stimp

              Fine

              But, the other solution with nested masterpages is also a one to think about
              :-)
