Master Pages help please

[NW Technicals]

HELLO,
I created my site with absolute positioning of controls. Upon suggestions
from a good friend of mine I am trying to move my site to Relative
positioning, but having problems

All my problems are related to control positioning only


1) All my controls would not fit in the contentpane I have in the main
pane??
How can I accomadate more where my content pane is small

2) When I place controls in relative and run my page (if I resize my page)
the controls are running everywhere.

Where can I learn more about positioning controls and really seeing how they
are going to be at runtime

Any help is greatly appreciated

thanks In advance

For a few good resources to learn more about layout you can find a few
links here...

http://brennan.offwhite.net/blog/2006/09/10/web-development-tools-for-the-power-developer/

Look towards the bottom where I have listed a few links under the
Websites grouping. The page also lists several tools you can use with
Firefox and MSIE which will help you see how your layout is working.

I strongly suggest reading this book also.

It was authored by the creators of this website.

It explains many of the designs and layouts which I found very
instructive. Once you have been through that book you will know how to
handle your layout issues.
