    Default Quick question about layout

    I have a question about layout, since this is as far as I have gotten.
    My first lab has the text to the left of the text area.
    My second lab will have the text area underneath the labels.
    Should I use a grid for this or is there a better or easier way?
    The second lab will have a label,
    then underneath a textarea,
    then another label,
    then underneath another textarea.

    This seems to be a lot more complicated than HTML.
    Any help would be very appreciated.

    If you want the components in a vertical layout, you might consider using BoxLayout. See also, How To Use BoxLayout.
