If I have understood you correctly,

Use master page and put the div inside that. In that case, all the pages that iherits the master page will have the div. So, you don't need to put the div in all the pages.

Now, you need to update the innerhtml of the div.
If the content of the div is changed often, you need to store the text (along with html, if you need) to database.

In master page_load, check which page you are in, call the database and get the actual text and assign it in div.

You can even use ajax to do it, but if it is in page_load and one time load only, I don't see any substantial benefit using ajax here.

OR

If your text is fixed, you can use hidden fields in master page to store the text for all pages using some delimiter. Thus you don't need a round trip of server call and enhance site performance. Though this approach has cons: if your text is too large, no need to make your page heavier by storing text in hidden field. I would suggest to use database for persistent storage.

Another approach is to store your text in custom xml. This is a better approach.

Hope this helps.
cheers

Solution 1

Use JQuery to make an AJAX call and populate your div.

Here[^] is an example.
