Place holder

[fmt]

Hello,
I have place holder in my form in a table row. I am adding dynamic controls as a table inside the palace holder. The controls add fine, but theres empty space before table.The place holder shows a big space and then table with controls. Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

Thanks...Here is code

ASP.NET

<TABLE>
<TR>
<TD align=center>
<asplaceHolder id="phControl" runat="server"></asplaceHolder></TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TD>
<asp:Button id="btnPrint" tabIndex="8" runat="server" Text="Print"></asp:Button></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

C#
PLACE HOLDERH CONTROL

phControl.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<table border=1>"));
while (DeviceReader.Read())
{
string ctype = (string)DeviceReader["ControlType"];
if (ctype=="Label")

{
Label lblLabel= new Label();
lblLabel.Text=DeviceReader["LabelText"].ToString();;
lblLabel.Font.Bold=true;
lblLabel.Font.Name="Arial";
lblLabel.Font.Size=System.Web.UI.WebControls.FontUnit.XSmall;
lblLabel.ForeColor=System.Drawing.Color.DarkBlue;

phControl.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<tr>"));
phControl.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<td class='label'>"));
phControl.Controls.Add(lblLabel);
phControl.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td>"));
}

Try butting the placeholder right up against the <TD> tag.
<TD align=center><asplaceHolder id="phControl" runat="server"></asplaceHolder>

Also I noticed it looks like you need a closing </tr> and a closing </table> tag.

phControl.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("<td class='label'>"));
phControl.Controls.Add(lblLabel);
phControl.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("</td>"));

//Here is what is missing
LiteralControl("</tr>"));
LiteralControl("</table>"));

Rather than using tables to position your page layout, try using CSS instead.
