Use a scripting language, such as JavaScript, to control the visibility property and dynamically display AP element
contents.

AP Elements panel overview
You use the AP Elements panel (Window > AP Elements) to manage the AP elements in your document. Use the AP
Elements panel to prevent overlaps, to change the visibility of AP elements, to nest or stack AP elements, and to select
one or more AP elements.
Note: An AP element in Dreamweaver is an HTML page element—specifically, a div tag, or any other tag—that has an
absolute position assigned to it. The AP Elements panel does not display relatively-positioned elements.
AP elements are displayed as a list of names, in order of z-index; by default, the first created AP element (with a z-index
of 1) appears at the bottom of the list, and the most recently created AP element appears at the top. You can, however,
change the z-index of an AP element by changing its place in the stacking order. For example, if you created eight AP
elements and wanted to move the fourth AP element to the top, you could assign it a higher z-index than the others.
Select AP elements
You can select one or more AP elements to manipulate them or change their properties.
