Changed to Flow layout now what?

I originally designed a page in grid layout. I positioned everything
where I wanted it. Real nice. Okay, then the datagrid in there
started getting longer and it overlapped my other controls. I did some
googling and saw I needed to have flow layout.

However, I did everything already in grid layout and it has style=top,
etc. on every control.

Is the answer to simply take out all the style references to absolution
positioning and then let everything render?

If I do that then those items I do want in a certain place will be
moved.

All I really want is for the datagrid(s) to no overlap my other
controls but instead move them down. Thanks for any help.

Yes, remove all the style sheet instructions to use absolute positioning and
top and left positions.

What you should do is create a table on your page and place your controls
into the cells of that table to get them where you want them.

So I gotta go back old school, huh? sad sad sad. I thought I was rid
of the old putem' in a table trick.

It's not a trick, it's the best way to create sophisticated page layout that
is guaranteed to look the same in all screen sizes and browser types.
Absolute Positioning (CSS Level 2.0) is fine for a control here and there,
but to build a whole page that way is more trouble than it's worth.
