Hi Stewart Collis,

Thank you for using our services.

Can you please make sure that you have a run-at server form tag in which your content placeholders will be inserted:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<%@ Master language="C#" %>

<html dir="ltr" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<head id="Head1" runat="server">

<title>AppPage</title>

<meta content="text/html; charset=utf-8" http-equiv="Content-Type" />

</head>

<body>

<form runat="server">

<div id="masthead">

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="header" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

</div>

<div id="top_nav">

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="menu" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

</div>

<div id="page_content">

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="content" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

</div>

<div id="footer">

<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="basemenu" runat="server"></asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

</div>

</form>

</body>

</html>
