I have a web form I checked body tag it is
<body ms_positioning="FlowLayout">

I load a user control on form, all the textboxes position like they are in
grid layout
I cannot drag them. What am i missing
I am doing something really dumb please help me.
 
Cindy,

Did you already place the controls on the form prior to changing to
FlowLayout? If you did, then those controls are already in GridLayout mode.
You can tell they are because they will have a style attribute something
like:

style="Z-INDEX: 101; LEFT: 560px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 362px"

The "POSITION: absolute;" part is what tells the browser to position where I
say in the browser. In other words, not go with the flow. If you remove this
from the style, they should turn back into flow objects. If you are not
concerned about loosing other styles you have set, just remove the styles
from each of the objects on the page.

Hope this helps...

Frisky
