Code is below. Why in the designer does it show as two rows of the same
height?

By the way this is just a small sample for discussion purposes not something
I would do. The problem is that this is so far from a WYSIWYG that it defys
purpose.

Thanks

The VS 2008 designer is better, as it is the Expression Web surface. It is
still not 100%, but it is much better. The VS 2005 surface just, to put it
bluntly, sucks. When I was using VS 2005, I spent my design time in
Expression Web or other WYSIWYG program.

Thanks. Pretty much what I expected but I guess when I get around to
switching there will be something to look forward to.

I have long had a problem with the VS design surface. I was so glad when
they worked with the Expression team as I knew, although not perfect, I
would have a WYSIWYG that atually showed what I desired most of the time.
