Web form design

[toa]

Hello!

I have an issue that I've been trying to resolve for some time now, but
cannot find any soution to, although it seems completely trivial.

I want to design a web form with a horizontal panel 100px high, running the
width of the b(rowser) w(indow), at the top. To the left and right in the
bw, I want to have vertical panels, each 100px wide, starting 10px below the
bottom edge of the initial horizontal panel, and continuing down to (but not
past) the bottom of the bw. No matter how I try to arrange for this, using
absolute or relative positioning, or a combination thereof, I either end up
with vertical panels of fixed height that do not adjust to the bw height, or
panels that consistently extend below the lower edge of the bw. I was hoping
to avoid frames and tables, but that is perhaps not possible?

Any suggestions?

You can try <DIV> and <LAYERS> with CSS. you can look into MSDN for this two
tags and CSS.

The most common way is to use a table.
Here's a more extensive examination of your options:

Well, actually I've been looking into CSS, but I cannot find anything even
there that will help me out in this specific situation. But thanks for
taking the trouble of answering

Your Controls have a CSSClass property. Use an external CSS style sheet to
do your positioning. Give each Control a CSS Class, and set the style for
that class in the style sheet.
