Placeholder new line

I'm using a placeholder to hold rows of controls (textboxes and dropdownlists) and I'm looking for a way to add them so that I get eleven columns in each row.

My problem is now that if the controls don't take up the entire width of the page, then a control that I intended to go on the row below ends up on the row above.

To resolve the problem I am currently adding an invisible label to take up the rest of the space in the row, but is there some way to push the control down to the next line?

Thanks

Or place all controls inside a table. Then you can use <TR></TR> to define your rows.

Hope this works for u,

For intCounter = 0 To l_dtDtattable.Rows.Count - 1 'ViewState("ProductFieldCount")
Dim ll As Integer
ll = intCounter

Dim litLabel As System.Web.UI.LiteralControl
Dim txtTextBox As System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox
Dim radRadiolist As System.Web.UI.WebControls.RadioButtonList

'add textbox control
txtTextBox = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.TextBox()
txtTextBox.ID = Trim(l_dtDtattable.Rows(ll).Item("QID"))
txtTextBox.Text = Trim(l_dtDtattable.Rows(ll).Item("QID"))
txtTextBox.Width = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Pixel(40)
'txt_qid1.Width = System.Web.UI.WebControls.Unit.Pixel(60)
Me.PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(txtTextBox)

'add literal Controls
litLabel = New System.Web.UI.LiteralControl()
litLabel.Text = "<b> " & l_dtDtattable.Rows(ll).Item("Questionn") & ":</b>"
Me.PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(litLabel)

'add Radiolist controls
radRadiolist = New System.Web.UI.WebControls.RadioButtonList()
radRadiolist.ID = "rad" & Trim(l_dtDtattable.Rows(ll).Item("QID"))
radRadiolist.Items.Add(l_dtDtattable.Rows(ll).Item("Choice_1"))
radRadiolist.Items.Add(l_dtDtattable.Rows(ll).Item("Choice_2"))
radRadiolist.Items.Add(l_dtDtattable.Rows(ll).Item("Choice_3"))
radRadiolist.Items.Add(l_dtDtattable.Rows(ll).Item("Choice_4"))
Me.PlaceHolder1.Controls.Add(radRadiolist)
