Text box Display

I don't understand the Display setting for controls such as text boxes.
I have a text box a button next to it, and then a submit button below
everything so that when the 1st button is pressed, a calendar appears
underneath it.

Becasue the submit button is below all the user input stuff, I want to
make it so that the calendar and the submit buttons are given set
positions on the screen, so that whenever I press the 1st button, my
submit button doesn't get pushed down the screen to make way for the
calendar.

I would've thought Display="Static" would do this, but I get the same
result as using Display="Dynamic". Can anybody help me out with this?
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks,

Mike

You need to use absolute display but make sure the parent elements are all
setup - positioning elements in pixel offsets is not a very good thing to
do. Static is meant for something else and IE does not even support it.
