Question

I got a table with 2 nested tables inside that display my two repeaters. My repeaters display Home and office addresses respectively. The problem is that whenever I add a new record in one repeater, the other repeater table’s display gets messed up. Like if I add a record in rpt1 , then table for rpt1 moves up and table for rpt2 goes down..ie the headers do not display in one single line . They move up and down when records are added or deleted. WHat I want is these headers to be fixed so if I add new records or delete records, the headings of both repeaters display on the same line…How do I fix this ? Hope its not confusing.

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
         <tr>
            <td width="50%">

Use css attribute valign and set its value to top like this <td width="50%" valign="top">.

<table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
            <tr>
                <td width="50%" valign="top">
                    <asp:Panel ID="pnlAddAddress" runat="server">
                        ......
                    </asp:Panel>
                </td>
                <td valign="top">
                    <asp:Panel ID="pnlSping" runat="server">
                        ......
                    </asp:Panel>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
