So when I used Visual Web Developer 2005 Express edition, in the ribbon there was a menu option for "Layout", which you could go through and select positioning and set absolute to default.

I am using Visual Web Developer 2008 Express now, and I see that you can select format from the menu bar, and set position > absolute, for each individual control that you add to the design surface, but is there a place I can just set absolute as the default, like in 2005?

Thanks, Justin

Take Tools > Options > HTML Designer > CSS Styling >

Check 'Change positioning to absolute for controls added using Toolbox, paste or drag and drop'.

Then, in design page, select form, then in menu.. Format > Position > Positioning Style > Select 'Absolute'.

Now you will be able to absolute positioning the components...
