Design question

[Zarcom]

I can't seem to make up my mind whether I want to use Flow Layout or Grid Layout. I like the idea of a grid layout but what happens when your control sizes change ie. a datagrid?

I was wondering what the other developers out there use and what your opinions are.

Thanks for the repies. That'l do donkey, that'l do

Grid layout and use CSS to control the size of your controls. That way, you don't have to.

Not quite sure what you mean here Jack. I don't necessarily know what the size of the control is so how can I know how far down the page to say put a button that is below the datagrid? That'l do donkey, that'l do

well, when I do my pages, i always put my controls within a table so that if a datagrid does need to grow, I know that my button will always be below it.

Something to keep in mind is that grid layout does not display properly on older browsers.

I guess I'll just have to keep working with them till I find one I like. I am leaning towards flow. I like the control that the grid gives you but, it just seems to make things difficult. That'l do donkey, that'l do

I keep forgetting that some of us can't force our clients to use only one browser
