This is a best practices question. I am experiencing a lot of challenges aligning controls on a form. I was led to believe that using nested table tags was the way to do this, but I keep finding that control over column widths changes with the content of the cells, especially when you use ASP controls. The result of this is that I spent a lot of time trying to "tweak" the form and messing with each of the controls, trying various ways to control the width of the control and or the <td> cell. I have heard arguments for <div> tags and style sheets to control the layout of a form but quite frankly I have no idea how to do that. Is there a good way to do this? Perhaps you know of some whitepaper you might suggest that would help me in the right direction. Below is an example of a typical form I might be working on.
