Hello, all. You will all laugh at this silly issue, but here it goes: I'm
using CSS to position elements on a page. I've got divs within divs and I'm
trying to type into the underlying div, and it won't let me through Design
View; I can type fine in HTML view. When I double-click, it takes me to the
code-behind. I can drag controls into the div fine, though. Has anyone run
into this issue? How do you get it to let you type in Design View? Thanks :)
 
Hi,

The only time I've had trouble is when trying to type in a <ASP:Table> so I
always use <table> instead. I havn't had any problems with DIVs, but I
havn't tried nesting them. What happens if you take the DIV out of the nest
and try to type into it? Good luck! Ken.
 
Thanks, Ken. The layout using CSS requires the nesting. I'm moving away from
tables, with all their TD's and TR's. I'm looking into other alternatives
with the div -- maybe changing its z-index.
