[2005] Websites?

Hello, i am not entirley sure if this is the write section of the forums to be asking about creating websites in visual basic...whel it is visual basic and this is a visual basic forum.

Is there a way to move the buttons and controls on my website freely with my mouse (dynamic control) like the same way you are able to move it freely in making an application with visual basic. I find it very hard to set my website up good because it takes a while to select the control then click edit/view/format or whatever and then click how i want it to be it takes up to much time.

Is there a way to just make it so its by deafult i can move it with my mouse freely all over?

You're probably looking for the "grid layout" in ASP.NET but this relies on absolute positioning in CSS, and you really should be designing your overall page's look and feel first. Web development requires some knowledge of HTML and CSS. Have a look at www.w3schools.com first. You can then create a layout for your page using DIVs, place your controls where you want, and then start working with them.

i have quite a bit of knoledge in html but i was planning to use visual basic not html.. why i cant use visual basic? or i use both?

Visual Basic is what you'd use for your codebehind to perform the UI logic and data manipulation. You still need to use HTML to create your page and the markup. You also have the option of using some of ASP.NET's "wrapper" controls that are rendered in a way to provide you with more properties available in the codebehind.
