You can place a content placeholder in the header area of your master page. That way child pages can choose to utilize that placeholder for items such as scripts, extra stylesheet references, etc., that may not be applicable to all pages.

But when i placed another content place holder in <head> tag, it is showing that <asp:contentplaceholder> is invalid tag, and also i can't see that contentplaceholder in content/child pages.

This works. In fact, if you're working in Visual Studio 2008 / Web Developer Express 2008, you'll get this by default when you create a master page. It still works in VS 2005, though. Check that you've got IDs and runat=server in all the appropriate places.

Sorry for the late reply! I am out of station for last 5 days,

Hey when i am doing that thing i came across another blank content place holder in the website (webpage)

But if we want to validate more than 1 content pages, what i've to do, i have to keep on adding the content place holder or i can use the previouse one(which will create confusion).

and also now i am using Javascript, but i came to know that
we can also write the client side validations using asp server side validation controls.

Can u give me a simple example w.r.t the above sentence.

Thanks in advance.

The master page has the content placeholder in the header. Child pages can choose to use that content place holder or skip it. If you have a form on child page #1 that you want to do custom client-side validation on, you place your javascript (or javascript source reference) within an asp:Content block tied to that placeholder. No other child page is bound by that javascript because it is only on child #1. Child #398 can have an entirely different validation requirement and therefore use a different script.
