Proper way to hide place holders in a SharePoint 2007 Master Page?

You create an asp:placeholder with the visible attribute set to false and place the contentplaceholders that are to be hidden in that container, weird I know but it works... as for the system. Master you probably would want to make a copy of the system. Master that SharePoint uses and then alter that one in the same manner.

Thank you so much for posting this. Works like a charm. I was so afraid because everyone says not to mess with the Application.Master.

All I did was open it with Notepad and add Visible="false" (I wanted to hide the topnavigation bar because I have custom tabs that display depending on a user's permissions which are controlled by code in default.master. But then if a user had to upload a file, upload. Aspx uses application.

Master and all the tabs would be displayed.).

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
