Use a table to hold it where you want.

As with placement of any content on a web page, tables
are an excellent method of placing content.

You don't say specifically but rember textboxes are an
HTML form component and need to be placed within a form
boundary on your webpage.

What sort of Textbox - the textbox used in a form? Or the textbox created
with the FrontPage drawing tools?

As others have said, the first type is easiest positioned with a table. The
latter uses absolute positioning, so it is unlikely it is in the wrong
position - it only looks that way because the rest of the page has moved
around it. This type of text box should be avoided because they use VML
graphics, which can only be seen on Windows PCs with IE5.5 and later.

Thanks to all, I will try adding a table cell (which I didn't know you could
do)

I am using the textbox from the drawing tools. I cannot seem to figure out
how to draw a table to be placed in the table already there.

I will keep trying, but now every time I add something to my Homepage I have
to mess around with my text boxes.

Steve

I need to create small boxes in corners of a cell which I cannot due, that
is why I used the text box. As well as I need to place text within a created
graphic. When I draw the text box on the graphic it appears correct in page
view but is not correct in web view. I then have to move the box up and to
the side for it to appear correctly on the website.

Any ideas???

When you use the drawing tools, on users of IE browser under Windows can see them. Can you provide a
URL to what you have done or trying to do?
