Hello DNN Community,

I am relatively new to DNN and am struggling with positioning my controls within my custom module. I really do not want to wrap my controls in tables, tr, and td blocks. I want to be able to use absolute positioning and place my controls within the ASCX file by dragging and dropping them in the designer. Then when my module is rendered on the current page, in the defined pane, in its container I want those controls to be relatively positioned to the container. I have tried several things to no avail and was wondering if somebody else has a solution for this type of development?

Any suggestions, comments, other ways of doing this type of thing would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Todd.

Hi everbody,

Update: I have had success with this by placing all my controls in a panel that has the style attribute: "Position: relative" and with all the child controls having the style attribue: "Position: absolute". This appears to be doing what I want. However, as I stated before, I am new to DNN and want to make sure this type of thing is recommended against? Has anybody done this type of thing and had bad affects? Has anybody come up with something different that they would recommend instead?

Thanks Todd.
