According to the new 4.0 framework overview, one should be able to add the attrib RenderOuterTable="false" to a control that supports the attribute and see css friendly code be spit out - in other words no html tables.

To test this, I threw a login control into a basic fresh webpage with the following code:

<asp:Login ID="Login1" runat="server" RenderOuterTable="false"></asp:Login>

The result? Crappy html table output, which supposedly doesn't happen with this attrib set to false. Here is the output:

&lt;table cellpadding=&quot;0&quot;&gt; 

<tr> <td align="center" colspan="2">Log In</td> </tr><tr> <td align="right"><label for="MainContent_Login1_UserName">User Name:</label></td><td><input name="ctl00$MainContent$Login1$UserName" type="text" id="MainContent_Login1_UserName" /><span id="MainContent_Login1_UserNameRequired" title="User Name is required." style="visibility:hidden;">*</span></td>...

Hopefully you get the point. Anyone know how to stop these controls from outputting tables? This is super annoying.
