Problems with positioning objects on form with Visual Web Developer

[Jawiko]

I am trying to place objects like buttons, calendar, listboxes etc on a
webform. I am strugling with the positioning. I placed all the objects
in a cell and the cell centers itself on the page. However the objects
don't appear on the webpage on the same place as the design form in
Visual Web Developer.

What can i do to keep the objects in place?

any help would be appreciated.

Z-index is a CSS property and represents the vertical position of an
object on a page. The highest the Z-index, the more "in front" the
object will be. For example, an object with a Z-index of 3 will be in
front of an object with a Z-index of 2. This is only useful if you use
absolute positioning.
