USING DREAMWEAVER
Creating pages with CSS
Last updated 3/28/2012
AP elements will usually be absolutely positioned div tags. (These are the kinds of AP elements Dreamweaver inserts
by default.) But remember, you can classify any HTML element (for example, an image) as an AP element by assigning
an absolute position to it. All AP elements (not just absolutely positioned div tags) appear in the AP elements panel.
HTML code for AP Div elements
Dreamweaver creates AP elements using the div tag. When you draw an AP element using the Draw AP Div tool,
Dreamweaver inserts a
div tag in the document and assigns the div an id value (by default apDiv1 for the first div you
draw, apDiv2 for the second div you draw, and so on). Later, you can rename the AP Div to anything you want using
the AP elements panel or the Property inspector. Dreamweaver also uses embedded CSS in the head of the document
to position the AP Div, and to assign the AP Div its exact dimensions.
The following is sample HTML code for an AP Div:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title>Sample AP Div Page</title>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
#apDiv1 {
position:absolute;
left:62px;
top:67px;
width:421px;
height:188px;
z-index:1;
}
-->
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="apDiv1">
</div>
</body>
</html>
You can change properties for AP Divs (or any AP element) on your page, including x and y coordinates, z-index (also
called the stacking order), and visibility.
Insert an AP Div
Dreamweaver lets you easily create and position AP Divs on your page. You can also create nested AP Divs.
When you insert an AP Div, Dreamweaver displays an outline of the AP Div in Design view by default, and highlights
the block when you move the pointer over it. You can disable the visual aid that shows AP Div (or any AP element)
outlines by disabling both AP Element Outlines and CSS Layout Outlines in the View
> Visual Aids menu. You can
also enable backgrounds and the box model for AP elements as a visual aid while you design.
After you create an AP Div, you can add content to it by simply placing your insertion point in the AP Div, and then
adding content just as you would add content to a page.
