Load a page with pagemethods inside a div tag inside a MasterPage

Question

I have a MasterPage which will appear in every page in the application and I'm trying to load a "LoginBox" which uses PageMethods inside a Div tag in this MasterPage

So far I have tried doing as I would do on a Content Page, tried converting it into a User Control and tried using a server side include (< !--#include file="LoginBox.aspx"-->) None succeeded.

I can see with firebug that the webresources get loaded but the PageMethods javascript isn't created in any of those methods.

I am REALLY trying to avoid having to create a WebService for this, and moving the LoginBox is not an option, I would rather drop the MasterPage idea, but then maintenance would become hell.

I need ideas or a direction on this. Any help is appreciated

Answer 1

I got it working successfully with an iframe loaded from javascript, to me it's an ugly solution, but still one. I'm open for better solutions

<script type="text/javascript"> 
    (function () {
        var e = document.createElement('iframe');
        e.setAttribute("src", "LoginBox.aspx");
        e.setAttribute("scrolling", "no");
        e.setAttribute("frameborder", "0");
        e.setAttribute("height", "73px");
        e.setAttribute("width", "225px");
        e.setAttribute("marginheight", "0px");
        e.setAttribute("marginwidth", "0px");
        e.async = true;
        document.getElementById('loginboxd').appendChild(e);
    } ());
</script>
