Very Computer

I have the following code in my aspx page.

<% If StuffFromDatabase = "yes" then
      myTop = 100
   Else
      myTop = 200
%>
<div style="position:absolute; top:<%=myTop%>">Test</div>

If I save/rebuild this page it works fine.

However, if I switch between DESIGN / HMTL a couple of
time, VS changes my code to

<% If StuffFromDatabase = "yes" then
      myTop = 100
   Else
      myTop = 200
%>
<div>Test</div>

It removes my entire absolute positing sytle!

PS. Sorry about double posting. I did not know there were  
a VS and a VS .NET newsgroup.

I would thrown in a panel (which becomes a DIV) and dynamically change the
style in codeBehind. You can also place the Page_Load (or other events) in
the page in a script block and accomplish the same thing. Push works better
with settings than pull.
