Master Pages
I am coming from an ASP.NET background. Does Salesforce have any concept of Master Pages? If so, how is it done? Thanks!

Structured apex page paths?
Right now my pages are all sitting at the root:
/apex/foo
/apex/bar
/apex/sub_one
/apex/sub_two
Is there any way to create a subfolder, such as:
/apex/foo
/apex/bar
/apex/sub/one
/apex/sub/two
If so, can I also create a default for sub?
/apex/sub
Thanks!

url() references in CSS files
I am helping a company migrate from IIS to Salesforce using apex. One thing I just recently came across was their large global.css contains tons of url() calls. For example:
#logo {
display block;
background:url("/images/foo/bar/.png") no-repeat scroll
/* ... */
}
There are literally hundreds of asset references like this - even for fonts:
@font-face {
font-family: 'CustomFont;
src: url('CustomFont.eot');
src: local('Custom Font'), local('CustomFont'), url('CustomFont.woff') format('woff'), url('DroidSans.ttf') format('truetype'), url('CustomFont.svg#DroidSans') format('svg');
}
Does URLFOR work within CSS files? I suspect not. If not, for elements which use url() the only thing I can think of is to find each of the million elements and hard code that CSS attribute. Is there a better way? Also, what would be a solution for non-element styles such as the one above?
Any advice GREATLY appreciated here!
Thanks

Referencing an image static resource
Hi,
I've uploaded some images to:
\staticresources\images\codename\foo.jpg
\staticresources\images\codename\bar.jpg
So I found $Resources, but the docs don't really answer how to reference images in subfolders. How can I use URLFOR and $Resources to get the path to these images?
Once I get an answer to that question, I have a followup... do I have to use <apex:image> instead of using <img> with the URLFOR to render an image? If not, what is the advantage of using <apex:image> over <img>?
Thanks!

Execute controller method in apex page?
I know this is a very simple question, but my search in the IDE help revealed nothing. If I have a method in a controller, how do I execute it in the view? For example:
// ----------------------
// In the controller
public static String test(String arg)
{
return arg;
}
// ----------------------
// In the view
<div>{!test('foo')}</div>
Thanks!

Accessing User.FirstName in a Controller
Hi, I come from C# land and am new to Apex. I am simply trying to get access to the User.FirstName value in the controller. I can do this in the view just fine:
{!$User.FirstName}
Below are examples of my attempts at doing this...
// In the view:
// -----------------
{!test}
// In the controller:
// -----------------
// Compiler error: Return value must be of type: String
public static string test { get { return User.FirstName; } }
// Compiler error: Incompatible types since an instance of Schema.SObjectField is never an instance of String
public static string test { get { return (string)User.FirstName; } }
// Compiles but always returns 'FirstName'
public static string test { get { return User.FirstName + ''; } }
// Compiler error: expecting a semi-colon, found ':'
public static string test { get { return :User.FirstName; } }
// Compiler error: line 33:10 no viable alternative at character '$'
public static string test { get { return $User.FirstName; } }
Surely there is a way to do this?
Thanks!
