I've spent countless hours arguing the EVILS of flow so i won't go over it
here - feel free to google for it. At the end of the day, nobody has changed sides.And it is a bitter debate. The default for whidbey is flow and i will be fighting tooth and nail to get it back to grid - the way it should be. >GridLayout is deceptively evil, That's what i mean by disparaging remarks. It's an option in the IDE, learn to use it properly. If it didn't have a bona fide use, it would not be included - it wouldn't even be the default in two released versions. That by itself should be meaningful in and of itself. * Why does the control I put beneath my DataGrid become covered up by my DataGrid when it has too many items? * My users are complaining because they have to horizontally scroll, how do I fix this? * I have a user with an older browser version, and the page looks like junk. What's wrong with ASP.NET, why won't it work for older browsers? All these concerns have extremely easy fixes that I trust you are imparting as a responsible and objective teacher. But you did hit the nail on the head. Windows programmers stick to grid, HTML and ASP programmers stick to flow. And there are very little backsliders. My take is that the web has evolved from simple web submission forms to complex applications that run in a browser - functionally equivalent to a windows application in a browser. For that type of programming, gridlayout is a must. For all other options, use gridlayout (that's not a typo either). -- Regards, Alvin Bruney [ASP.NET MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/default.aspx] Got tidbits?
