Insert an AP Div
Dreamweaver lets you easily create and position AP Divs on your page. You can also create nested AP Divs.
When you insert an AP Div, Dreamweaver displays an outline of the AP Div in Design view by default, and highlights the block when you move the pointer over it. You can disable the visual aid that shows AP Div (or any AP element) outlines by disabling both AP Element Outlines and CSS Layout Outlines in the View > Visual Aids menu. You can also enable backgrounds and the box model for AP elements as a visual aid while you design.
After you create an AP Div, you can add content to it by simply placing your insertion point in the AP Div, and then adding content just as you would add content to a page.
