You??™ll eventually need to enhance a more traditional site
with new features, such as AP elements. Some of the older sites used elaborately nested tables on their pages
to create a semblance of absolute positioning; normally, upgrading these Web pages takes hours and hours
of tedious cutting and pasting. Dreamweaver can bring these older pages up to speed with the Convert
Tables to AP Divs command, which you reach via Modify ??? Convert ??? Tables to AP Divs. Dreamweaver
also includes a command to convert tables to AP elements, preserving their location but enabling greater
design flexibility and dynamic control. A Webmaster??™s life just got a tad easier.
The Convert Tables to AP Divs command can also be used to convert a page created by another Web
authoring program (NetObjects Fusion, for example) that uses nested tables for positioning. After tables
have been transformed into AP elements, the layout of the entire page is much easier to modify. It??™s even
possible to make the switch from 3.0 to 4.0 capabilities, modify your page, and then, with the Convert AP
Divs to Tables command, re-create your 3.0-compliant page.
The name of the Convert Tables to AP Divs command is a little misleading. After you issue this command,
every HTML element in the new page??”not just the tables??”is placed in an AP element.
