Hello,

When I do the following:

- create a layout grid by going 'Layout' > 'Insert Table';

- accept the default settings (3 x 3 grid);

- drag a text box from the toolbox on the centre cell of the grid (i.e. at 
row 2, column 2);

instead of the edit box to be placed in the centre cell, it is placed in the 
top left row (row 1, column 1).

What's more, when I look at the source code for the page, it *does* tell me 
that the control *is* in the centre. The reason it appears not to display 
correctly is that it is css position attribute is *absolute*, not 
*relative*.

Is there any way I can make the attribute relative by default when I drag 
and drop controls into layouts?

Thanks in advance,

Akin

Yes, this is done in Visual Studio's "Tools|Options" dialog box.
It's under the HTML Designer, CSS Positioning option.
