Take our your relative positioning and see what happens. You probably need
to use some trial and error on this because of the way the web controls are
actually rendered within a browser. You might also test with other browsers
because they will render differently from FireFox and IE in some cases.

When it comes to browsers, WYS isn't really WYG.

I appreciate the help, however microsoft is advertising wsyiwyg, I set
everything absoulte and use grid format instead of flow the result are worse.
It should work, I created web pages in visual studio 2003 and did not have
an issue. Is there anything else besides guessing that would fix the problem?

You can contact Microsoft directly and pay the fees to get an answer
that is not a guess. If you don't want to go this route then these
forums are a great way to get answers concerning your issues. If you
feel Microsoft is doing false advertising then go hassel them about it.
If you ask me, VS.NET 2003 visual designer is far less superior to
Visual Web Developer. Maybe you could display some of your markup that
is not being rendered properly in the designer. By the way, do does
your page look when rendered in IE or Firefox?
