Any idea what to do?

I added another content Placeholder in my site.master for scripts. It is in the header above the title. other pages do not need extra scripts or css it does not get used. when I need extra scripts or css on the page it goes in there. – Wehrle

You can only place stylesheet links in the header of the document. Here's a link how to do that from a ContentPlaceholder:

Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, _
                         ByVal e As System.EventArgs)

   Dim cssLink As New HtmlLink()
   cssLink.Href = "~/styles.css"
   cssLink.Attributes.Add("rel", "stylesheet")
   cssLink.Attributes.Add("type", "text/css")
   Header.Controls.Add(cssLink)

End Sub

Then where must i place it? Because i cant use a header in my Default.aspx page since i am using MasterPages. – Radiopaque

Seems you can actually - I amended my answer :) – Famulus

@Radiopaque - you can use contentplaceholders in "head" element too. – Loats

@Loats - what will the syntax be for that? – Radiopaque

@Mladen - thanks it does work, but it placed the link inside my actual MasterPage and because of this it does not work for me. For some reason it must be at the Default.aspx level. – Radiopaque

If I understand correctly it placed it in the HEAD tag of which you have only one (the masterpage creates it) so it can only put it there. You cannot link to a style outside it. Why would you want to? – Famulus
