why does asp:panel not have a Text attribute?

I'm curious... asp:Panel renderes a <div> tag, right? And you can have text
in a div tag.... so why not have a Text property for the asp:panel control??

It's purpose is that it can be more then just that. It's a container

I'm sure this is an ignorant question.... what would one use a container
for, the most common use you can think of?

To group other objects together. So if I need to show one group of objects
in one case, and another set in a different case, i can put each set of
objects in their own panel. Then I can make the panel i need to show
visible, and make the other one invisible. So instead of keeping a list of
objects I need to make invisible, and going through each one, I could just
do it all in one line. If I end up adding or deleting objects from either
set, this code would not have to change as I am only changing the Visible
property of the panel.

Cool. Without even realizing it that's what I've done with my
"ProductWizard. aspx" page, hide em all, then show the current step. I see
the value in a panel as a container, but I still don't see why I can't drop
some text in there.

Thanks for the quick response!

Hello all, wondering if you can help! This should be a simple one. I currently have an asp:panel in an .ascx file that renders in Firefox as a table with a width="100%" attribute.

Although ideally I'd prefer that panels rendered as divs whichever browser was doing the rendering, I'm happy with it rendering as a table as long as this width="100%" can somehow be excised. Is...
