Define CSS style box properties
Use the Box category of the CSS Rule Definition dialog box to define settings for tags and properties that control the

blank if it is not important to the style.)
Width and Height Sets the width and height of the element.
Float Sets which side other elements, such as text, AP Divs, tables and so on, will float around an element. Other
elements wrap around the floating element as usual. The Float attribute is supported by both browsers.
Clear Defines the sides that do not allow AP elements. If an AP element appears on the clear side, the element with
the clear setting moves below it. The Clear attribute is supported by both browsers.
Padding Specifies the amount of space between the content of an element and its border (or margin if there is no
border). Deselect the Same For All option to set the padding for individual sides of the element.
Same For All Sets the same padding properties to the Top, Right, Bottom, and Left of the element to which it is
applied.
Margin Specifies the amount of space between the border of an element (or the padding if there is no border) and
another element. Dreamweaver displays this attribute in the Document window only when it is applied to block-level
elements (paragraphs, headings, lists, and so on). Deselect Same For All to set the margin for individual sides of the
element.
Same For All Sets the same margin properties to the Top, Right, Bottom, and Left of the element to which it is
applied.
