Manipulating Table Cells

[soluga]

Is it me? probably is.
When I am trying to manipulate cells in a table in VS, when I move one cell border it seems to move the other cell borders next to it!
I just want to be able to make one cell one size and another cell another size, this is especially apparent when using master pages, in Dreamweaver, Frontpage etc this is not a problem.
Think it is easier just to do the HTML in another app then past it in.

Thanks

I don't think it is you. Trying to design HTML with the VS editor is a pain in the ass. Especially like you said with the tables, it just loves to go in there and resize things you don't want it to.

I was just talking to a colleague about it just now, and she said she does all her html by hand
Thought b******s to that, life is just to short.

Honestly I end up doing most of it by hand as well. I'll use the VS editor to drop the HTML on the page, but then I'll go in the source and do most of the manipulation by hand.

It's "b******s" if you depend upon any sort of a visual interface to make your pages. Once you're competent enough to code it by hand, you won't go back. It'll be much faster than struggling with having to click and drag the mouse at just the right places.

Dont get me wrong, I do go in and do lots of HTML by hand, but I normally get the layout looking as close as I can first with a wysiwyg, plus coming from asp background, didnt really have much choice anyway. My main point was the designer in VS is not to good. But the table designer in say Frontpage is really good, so cant see why if they are both MS products they are not the same table designers? if you see what I mean.
