HTML Table Resize Problem

I'm using VS.Net 2003. I have a Web App where I'm trying to resize cells in
an HTML table just the way I want in design view. Whenever I try to drag the
size of the cells it snaps to larger sizes and acts really weird. Also it
doesn't go exactly where I want it to go. My cells are not the size I want
them I am having trouble sizing them correctly. Does any have suggestions or
a good resource for me to learn about using HTML tables in design view?
Thanks a bunch.

Have you tried just going into the cell properties and manually setting the
cell's width in pixels? Or percentages? I never like using percentages
because I'll never end up with an exact 100% across the whole table and
everything always goes wacky on me but if you want them half and half, you
can just use 50% and 50%, also there's settings to auto-size to content I
believe that may be causing them to act funky. Just explore the properties
and change some things to see their reaction, if I'm ever at a question of
how something works, I'll just back it up and break it a few times to see
what causes it to react the way it does.

Thanks Xedecimal. I've tried looking at every nook and cranny I can find in
the properties. The Styles seem to be messing me up. When I code the HTML
by hand it seems to work better. Trying to use the WYSIWIG to drag the table
doesn't seem to work well for me no matter what I do. Thanks again.

First of all, I'm not real experienced with HTML or ASP.NET. I'm doing my first ASP.NET app. I'm working in VS.NET, and I'm laying out my controls in HTML tables. It seems that every once in a while, VS.NET will decide it doesn't want to allow me to resize the columns by dragging them anymore. This happened once before and I somehow managed to fix it. I now have a form that I damn near completed and now it's gone into this mode. Whenever...

I am using html/Table control a lot to organize my controls on aspx form. Most of the time it works fine, then all of a sudden, a cell within a table refuses to be resized (left/right) and or a row will not resize. To fix this, I have to create a new table, copy everything from the old table to the new one and then I finally can resize the new table the way I want. Most of my html/table configurations are 2 columns with multiple rows...
