Hi,
>
I create two textboxes and two labels.
My problem is that: i want to get them under each other instead of beside
each other.
My second problem is that i want to have more spaces between the label and
the textbox.
Is there a way to do that?
Thanks

It's for using it with asp.net. I also don't know how to use the style
"position: absolute" and left="..px" ...
Thanks again

Personally, I would use absolute positioning...i nstead, while dynamically
adding the label controls, you need to add a LiteralControl in between the
textbox and the label #2. The LiteralControl would contain a "<br>" tag ..

How do you mean "more or less correctly..."? Do you want them displayed
top-down or left-right? Do you want something like:

Label : TextBox
Label : TextBox
??

If so, then the following should work:

Dim frm As HtmlForm = Me.FindControl( "form1") ' gave the form an id
of 'form1'
Dim lbl As Label
Dim lit As LiteralControl
Dim txt As TextBox

' Create first control set.
lbl = New Label()
lbl.Text = "Label #1: "
frm.Controls.Ad d(lbl)
txt = New TextBox()
txt.ID = "txtBox1"
frm.Controls.Ad d(txt)
lit = New LiteralControl( "<br>")
frm.Controls.Ad d(lit)

' Create second control set.
lbl = New Label()
lbl.Text = "Label #2: "
frm.Controls.Ad d(lbl)
txt = New TextBox()
txt.ID = "txtBox2"
frm.Controls.Ad d(txt)
lit = New LiteralControl( "<br>")
frm.Controls.Ad d(lit)

HTH :)

Re: how to put two textboxes under each other?

I would put the label and the field in a block container, i.e. a div
tag. I would set a class on the div tag so that I could use CSS to
format them.

Resulting HTML:

<div class="FormItem ">
<label for="someId"></label>
<input type="text" id="someId" />
</div>

CSS:

..FormItem { margin: 3px 0; }
..FormItem label { float: left; width: 150px; }
..FormItem input { float: left; width: 150px; }

I don't think that the Label control creates a real label tag, though.
You would have to use an HtmlGenericCont rol for that, just as for the
div tag.
