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.
