Hello all:
I'm having a difficult time grasping the use of user controls to
create a header and menu system. However I will admit that in learning
ASP.NET, I'm new overall to the concept of web development, despite
the fact that I'm not new in VB development.
I originally thought that if I create a main form with a 2x2 table,
the first column about 134px and the 2nd column about 800px. The 1st
row, 1st column contains a logo, and the 2nd column contain a
banner/header title. The 1st column, 2nd row contains a menu, and the
next column contains my pages. If, in my user control I create a table
for the header, and it is 50px in height, do I also have to create the
table on the main form for the header to be 50 px? I would have
assumed that the header table on my main form would cause the user
control to center, but that's not the case. If my user control table's
height is greater than the main page table header, then it will cause
the main page body to be pushed further down. Am I going about this
all wrong?? I thought this would be much easier, but I feel like I've
wasted alot of time trying to my everything line up and look pretty.
Since I really don't know html and frames, I was trying to do this the
".NET way". Can someone pleeeeassee shed a little light here?
I would gladly buy a book if someone knows of one that explains this
concept in detail using the VS IDE.
