Many custom Property inspectors use multiple AP elements
to position the elements exactly and the AP Elements panel makes selecting individual AP elements
for adjustment a snap.
n Use nested AP elements to position and group associated items in the Property inspector. Almost
all the form objects for user input in Property inspectors, such as text boxes and drop-down lists,
are identified by labels. Placing both the label and text boxes in their own AP elements, while
grouping them under one parent AP element, provides maximum flexibility and ease of placement.
n Apply CSS styles within the Property inspector to easily manage font sizes and design your
Property inspector in a WYSIWYG environment.
Making Custom Floating Panels
Property inspectors are an excellent way to manage the attributes of most elements in a single, consistent
user interface. The Property inspector user interface, however, is not the best solution for all situations.
Recognizing this, the Adobe engineers have added another extension type for Dreamweaver: floating panels.
A floating panel is a cross between a Property inspector and a command. Like Property inspectors, floating
panels can stay on the screen while you work on the Web page; like commands, floating panels are not
restricted to a set size and shape.
