newbie: problem with master pages!

[Jeff]

Hey

I'm creating a simple helloworld project in visual web developer 2005
express

In my my project I've created a simple master page, that contains 1 table (3
rows x 3 columns) and 1 contentplaceholder. The contentplaceholder is placed
at row 2, column 2 (that means it's in the centre cell in the table)...

After creating the master mage, I then created a new web page that uses this
master page. In this web page I added a calendar. But my PROBLEM occur when
I run this website, the calendar is then placed a bit offset to the
left..See this link, and you see what I mean:
http://home.online.no/~au-holme/pub/66404/ (I'm using those different colors
to see where all the table cells goes) As mentioned above the
contentplaceholder is in the second row, seconds column.. but here the
contentplaceholder uses parts of column 1...

I want contentplaceholder to be in column 2, row 2, not like this (column 2
+ COLUMN 1, row 2)

What am I doing wrong here?

Maybe it's a bad idea to position contentplaceholder using tables?

Maybe Panel should be used instead for position contentplaceholder?

Best Regards

Jeff

Learn CSS Jeff. It solves all these problems but note if you are using
Themes or StyleSheetThemes with your MasterPage.

For now try to wrap your calendar in a div and play with the margin
values...

<div style="margin: .25em .25em .25em .25em">
<asp:Calendar ... />
</div>
