Use Transparent GIFs Fills the table’s last row with transparent GIFs. This ensures that the table is displayed with the
same column widths in all browsers.
When this option is enabled, you cannot edit the resulting table by dragging its columns. When this option is
disabled, the resulting table will not contain transparent GIFs, but the widths of the columns may vary from browser
to browser.
Center On Page Centers the resulting table on the page. If this option is disabled, the table starts at the left edge of
the page.
Convert tables to AP Divs
1 Select Modify > Convert > Tables to AP Divs.
2 Specify any of the following options and click OK:
Prevent AP Element Overlaps Constrains the positions of AP elements when they are created, moved, and resized
so that they don’t overlap.
Show AP Elements Panel Displays the AP elements panel.
Show Grid and Snap To Grid Let you use a grid to help position AP elements.
The tables are converted to AP Divs. Empty cells are not converted to AP elements unless they have background
colors.
Note: Page elements that were outside of tables are also placed in AP Divs.
Prevent AP element overlaps
Because table cells cannot overlap, Dreamweaver cannot create a table from overlapping AP elements. If you plan to
convert the AP elements in a document to tables, use the Prevent Overlap option to constrain AP element movement
and positioning so that AP elements don’t overlap.
When this option is on, an AP element can’t be created in front of, moved or resized over, or nested within an existing
AP element. If you activate this option after creating overlapping AP elements, drag each overlapping AP element to
move it away from other AP elements. Dreamweaver does not automatically fix existing overlapping AP elements in
the page when you enable Prevent AP element Overlaps.
When this option and snapping are enabled, an AP element won’t snap to the grid if it would cause two AP elements to
overlap. Instead, it will snap to the edge of the closest AP element.
Note: Certain actions allow you to overlap AP elements even when the Prevent Overlaps option is enabled. If you insert an
AP element using the Insert menu, enter numbers in the Property inspector, or reposition AP elements by editing the HTML
source code, you can cause AP elements to overlap or nest while this option is enabled. If overlaps happen, drag overlapping
AP elements in the Design view to separate them.
• In the AP Elements panel (Window > AP Elements), select the Prevent Overlaps option.
• In the Document window, select Modify > Arrange > Prevent AP Element Overlaps.
Apply gradients to background
Using the CSS Designer panel, you can apply gradients to the background of your websites. The gradient property is
available in the background category.
