Inspired by the thread before, I began experimenting a bit the last days 
too. Same thing: Why do the elements land on strange places?

I found a workaround at least, maybe it's the way it's supposed to be 
done. You can use the containers for vertical and horizontal alignment 
and then set Height and Width properties, Spacing etc. to keep the 
elements on places where they look better.

Just keep thinking "from upper left corner", as it is not foreseeable 
how big the page can be shown in the browser. So a browser will always 
fill the page with all elements from the upper left corner downward. You 
will have to define positions and sizes if you want a decent look.

I found that a spacer with width 10% and height 5 ems will do a lot.
