Lately, however, the integration of absolutely positioned elements (AP elements)
within the Cascading Style Sheets specification has brought true absolute positioning
to the Web. Page designers with a yen for more control welcome the precision
offered with Cascading Style Sheets-Positioning (CSS-P). CSS-P styles are
typically applied to
tags, which are used to separate a page into different
areas or divisions.
Dreamweaver??™s implementation of
tags and AP elements turns the promise
of CSS-P into an intuitive, designer-friendly, layout-compatible reality. AP elements
offer more than pixel-perfect positioning. You can stack one AP element
on another, hide some AP elements while showing others, move an AP element
across the screen, and even move several AP elements around the screen simultaneously.
AP elements add an entirely new dimension to the Web designer??™s
palette. Dreamweaver enables you to create page layouts using AP elements.
This chapter explores every aspect of how AP elements work in Web pages. With
the fundamentals under your belt, you learn how to create, modify, populate, and
activate
tags and AP elements on your designs.

When the World Wide Web first made its debut in 1989, few people were concerned
about the aesthetic layout of a page.
