Both techniques are valuable options, and Dreamweaver enables you to decide
which one should be the overriding method.
If you are working primarily with nested AP elements and plan to use the inheritance facility, check the
Nest When Created Within An AP Div option. If your design entails a number of overlapping but independent
AP elements, make sure this option is turned off. Regardless of your preference, you can reverse it
on an individual basis by pressing the Ctrl (Command) key when drawing out your AP elements.
Netscape 4 Compatibility option
Netscape 4.x has a particularly annoying problem when displaying Web pages with AP elements. When the
user resizes the browser, all the CSS positioning information is lost??”in other words, all your AP elements
lose their exact positioning and typically align themselves on the left. The only solution is to force Netscape
to reload the page after the browser has been resized.
When the Netscape 4 Compatibility option is enabled, Dreamweaver automatically includes a small
JavaScript routine to handle the resizing problem. The code is inserted in the section of the page
when the first AP element is added to the page. If additional AP elements are added, Dreamweaver is smart
enough to realize that the workaround code is already included and does not add more unnecessary code.
