Hello.  I love DNN and I was curious how the DNN team was able to make a DNN site seem like it is caching the skin.  I know that the page is dynamically created on each request so I was wondering how they were able to work around the header/logo flicker on each page navigation.  Does anyone know how they accomplished this?

Thank you, Tyler

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your reply.  Can the client cache the html markup to structure the page?  I know that when using a masterpage in a typical website the markup from the masterpage is not cached because it dynamically merges the masterpage and its contents when the page loads so there is a flicker on each page navigation.  I am currently developing a website where I have a placeholder on the page and I programmatically add a skin.ascx page which has my markup and then I add my content into that but the entire page is refreshed each time I navigate to another page.  I think I am building the page in a similar fashion as DNN i.e. loading an ascx control for my markup, finding objects within that ascx control to add child controls to and finally adding the ascx control to the placeholder control collection.  Can you think of another way to load the page which might allow the client to cache the markup portion?  Thank you again for your help.

Thanks, Tyler
