How to drag a contol into a table cell

[active]

I have a table on my page with rows and cells.

I try to drag a table from the toolbox into one of the cells but the drag
symbol shows it is not allowed (and the table does not drop)

Can I inset a table into a cell?

If so how.

My problem does not really relate only to the table since I can't drag any
control into the cell.

Thanks for any help

Hi...

Did you tried added controls in html view....
Please switch to html view from design view....
Now try drag and drop the elements in the table cell...
suppose to create the html markup for the control

Thanks, that worked (I added a row/cell with text so it would show) but when
I switch to Design view and check the properties the new table (Table2) does
not show there. I need to add rows and cells there.

Any suggestions?

Thanks again.

single click the word "Table" and asp:Table bolds
Press F4 the bold goes away but no property window pops up.

Double click "Table" and it becomes white text on blue background
Press F4 and Properties pane title bar becomes white text on blue
but the pane is empty - no properties show.

Can't seem to get to Properties!

Thanks

Thanks for sticking with me.

Here what happened:

In Design mode I couldn't drag a table from the toolbox to a cell in an
existing table.

So you showed me how to do it in Source mode.

I did that and added some cells.

Switched to source mode and can see the cell contents.

But the table (Table2) does not show in the Properties dropdown box nor can
I select it.
Thanks again
Are there two tables - HTML and ASP?
If so how can I tell which I included?

You're right I was using the "Web Forms" control.
Assumed that was the newer/better way to go.
Are there two set of people:
1)Those that like and use the HTML controls
2)Those that like and use the Web forms controls

or typically does one use which ever fits the occasion?

Thanks fore the info

Whichever fits the occasion...

You would use the Web Forms Table control when you need to add rows/cells
dynamically at run time and the HTML Table control when you need to
manipulate child controls, rows, columns, cells at design time. You can
also manipulate everything in the html table at runtime by setting the runat
attribute on the table and/or children of the table and give them an ID
value.
