How do you set the postion of a web page control?

Thanks. Tables work. Style sheets are much more complex, but I've made some headway. How do position a asp:ContentPlaceHolder ? Same way using it's id and a # entry in the CSS.

You don't position a ContentPlaceHolder as it is only a - well placeholder for content.
You position the content via the HTML it renders.

So you could place your ContentPlaceHolder within some HTML div or tables and position those, and that way assure that all content within the placeholder is positioned the same.
