How to bind text box to the table?

Is that possible?
In design stage when I change the table position the text box which was
placed inside it will not move with it.
Is there any way to permanently anchor text box to the table?

In addition to the previous post:
When the whole page width is resized the position of the text box changes
(vertically).
How to prevent that?
Thanks,
Jack

No.
Text boxes are VML graphics, which use a form of absolute positioning. 
The positioning *always* uses the top left corner of the page as the 0,0
point, which means the VML graphic will always stay in the same spot, no
matter how the rest of the page moves around.

See http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/tests/vml-graphics.htm for reasons
why VML should be avoided.
In your case, since you are using the textbox in a table cell, why use
the textbox at all?

Please have a look at this page:

Application1 and Application2 uses textboxes.
How can I replace them with something else?
Thanks,
Jack

Those aren't test boxes, they are input boxes.
Totally different item.

Remove all of these:
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
from the page and then use the proper positioning tools to position items on the page.

Remove the absolute positioning, place the form elements IN the table,
and use alignment and margins to position the form elements in the table
cells.

For example, in application 1,
Change:
<tr>
        <td width="137">
        <br>
        <br>
<div align="center">
  <center>
  <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3">
    <tr>

To

<tr>
        <td width="137">
<div align="center">
  <center>
   <p><input type="text" name="T1" size="14"
onclick='javascript:doNothing()'></p>
   <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="3">
    <tr>

And delete
<p align="center"><input type="text" name="T1" size="14"
onclick='javascript:doNothing()' style="position: absolute; left: 32;
top: 176; text-align: Center">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; above
the table.

Positioning with spaces will cause problems since different browsers use
different sizes for spaces.
