problems with ap div tags

Jul 3, 2012 1:01 PM

Hi I am currently working on a website for a school assignment and I have almost gotten my site done, however when I preview it ic the browser and then I maximize the the webpage moves but the ap div tags I have dont move with the rest of the page. Is there something that I can do about this? Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

Thanks Tanya

    APDivs for primary layouts seldom work well. Here is why:

    so am I better off using a table rather then a ap div tag?

    No.  You're much better off using default CSS positioning which is none or static along with margins, padding and floats to align page elements.   Tables are strictly for tabular data (spreadsheets, data sets).

     

    If you're short on time, open one of the starter pages that comes with Dreamweaver.

    File > New > Blank > HTML > Layout...  1 or 2-col, fixed, centered...   This will serve as a framework you can drop your content and images into.

     

     

    Good luck,
