DataList inside a Grid Layout Panel (<DIV>) item layout problem

I'm using a DataList inside a Grid Layout Panel (which ends up being a
<DIV>) so that I can use the overflow:scroll property. This is working fine,
except for one anomaly: If there aren't enough items to cause an overflow,
and scrolling, they get spaced evenly inside the <DIV>. So, one item appears
in the middle of the area, two spread out with space on top, between, and
bottom, etc. Finally, after adding enough to fill the area, the spacing and
positioning is as I would prefer to see it.

Is there a way to change this behavior so that the <DIV> simply fills in
from the top?

(Also - possible warning note: My first attempt at this consisted of cutting
& pasting the DataList into the Grid Layout panel. This resulted in
*trashing* the HTML for my page. I was able to recover, but sure wished I
had picked the point just before I did that to check in the source....)

You may change the DataList control's RepeatLayout to "Flow". When it is
set to table, the item's layout will be arranged automatically.

This just controls whether the scroll bar(s) always appear (albeit grayed
out) or not. Thanks. See my response to the MSFT comments by Luke.

I've heard of overflow:auto being used, have you tried that?

And, we have a winner <g>. Yes, this works!, and without making a mess of
the formatting (I already had manually inserted a <BR> where I wanted a line
break, anyway).

Thanks.

I know this must seem totally basic and stupid, but I cannot find any reference that describes how to control the spacing between <p>...</p> and <div>...</div> blocks. When I implement these on a page, there is a huge gap (like 3/8 inch or 25 px) between them. This is driving me bananas. What the hey am I missing? dh ------------------------------------------------ Dan Hansen ------------------------------------------------

Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to use a panel, but prevent it from adding a <div> tag to the HTML. The reason I want to do this is that I am using a panel to enable me to show/hide part of a page as required. I would like the part in the panel to appear on the same line as the controls that precede it, but when the panel is converted to HTML, a <div> tag is used, and that forces a new line in the browser. Any ideas? TIA
