Page Access

asp.net building controls:

Greetings,

Is there a way, from inside a custom WebControl, that I can modify the
attributes of the parent page? I ask because if a certain property is set
in my WebControl, I would like it to add an attribute (onResize, for
example) to the page's <Body> tag that calls some JavaScript it registers.

Thanks,
Shawn

Specify the body tag with runat="server" attribute and give it an ID. Then
you could access it from custom control by using
Page.FindControl("ID_of_Body_tag").

But if the Page needs to work without anything like this i.e must not need
to be aware of this, I believe it is bit a problem. <body> tag is normally
contained in Page's Controls at index 0 (default scenario) in a
LiteralControl where all the static, non-server control content is.
