You can also delete an AP element from the AP Elements panel. Just highlight the AP element
to be removed and press the Delete key. Dreamweaver also enables you to delete nested AP
elements as a group by selecting the parent AP element and pressing Delete. If you want to remove a parent
AP element but keep all children, the Tag Selector can be used. Select the parent tag, right-click
(Control+click), and then choose Remove Tag.
Aligning AP elements
With the capability to position AP elements anywhere on a page comes additional responsibility and potential
problems. In anything that involves animation, correct alignment of moving parts is crucial. As you
begin to set up your AP elements, their exact placement and alignment become critical. Dreamweaver
includes two tools to simplify layered Web page design: the ruler and the grid.
Rulers and grids are familiar concepts in traditional desktop publishing. Dreamweaver??™s ruler shows the xaxis
and y-axis in pixels, inches, or centimeters along the outer edge of the Document window. The grid
crisscrosses the page with lines to support a visual guideline when you??™re placing objects. You can even
enable a snap-to-grid feature to ensure easy, absolute alignment.
Using the ruler
With traditional Web design, ???eyeballing it??? was the only option available for Web page layout.
