I'm new to asp .net and web design in general, and so far all I am aware of
in Visual Studio to divide a page into logical groupings is by using a
Table.  This eliminates any Design View editing, so there must be a better
way.  Any examples for reference would be much appreciated.  Thanks

It's embarrassing, but I still use tables for quite a lot of layout. (I like
CSS, but I just can't make it work for me in visual studio).

If you do end up staying with tables, you can edit them visually in the IDE.
From the tools menu, choose "Insert Table" and go from there.

thanks much

Tables are quite useful for this kind of thing.
I think you'll want to use the Table control from the HTML section of your
toolbox if you want to be able to edit the contents visually at design time.

Yes, thanks, that sounds like just what I need.  But how do I 'turn on' the
HTML section of the Toolbox?  All the selections are greyed-out whether I'm
in Design mode or Source mode.  Thanks again!

You might want to check out a splitter control for this. ComponentArt has a
beta of one
