Hi,
I recently started learning WSAD with the documentation available with it. So, my question maybe a little basic, but bear with me. I opened a JSP project and started designing a simple login form GUI. I have added a title, a form and few basic controls to the form. But the GUI doesn't seem to be very good. I mean I can't move around the controls with the mouse as I like. I have to apply indent to move any control, otherwise it wouldn't move at all. Is it designed that way, or am I doing something wrong? I mean there has to be a way to move the controls on the design form easily because that's such a basic thing.

Actually no, not really. WebSphere studio's JSP designer is an HTML design tool, not a design tool for Windows GUIs. It's basically showing you exactly what's in the HTML. It doesn't do fancy things like inserting dozens of tables with one-pixel wide columns to allow you to put things at exact pixel positions. That's generally not the way HTML works. It expects you to know and follow the rules of HTML -- any fancy placement will be something you do yourself.
