If I drop a text box on an asp.net form I can drag and drop it anywhere I want and the appropriate css style tag gets generated with aboslute positioning. This is grid positioning yes?
But if that textbox is in a panel or in a master page content control then I lose the ability to do that. And it balks if I try to add style tags with positioning in them. What is going on?
Do I have to go old school and make tables for things in there to get them to layout properly?
 
That is kind of my point. I would need a div for every control because once inside the div I have no control over where things fall out precisely. Then I'm back to a table within the div. Best case scenario would be if all of these controls just supported css-p and I could deal with the positioning that way. But if I can't put a style tag in some (like a repeater) I doubt they are going to recognize some css based on their ids.
