Building Style Sheet Web Pages

Dreamweaver’s AP elements are built upon the foundation of CSS positioning. For a com-
plete explanation of AP elements and their attributes, see Chapter 11.
Extensions options
The specifications for Cascading Style Sheets are rapidly evolving, and Dreamweaver has grouped
some cutting-edge features in the Extensions category. As of this writing, most of the Extensions
attributes (see Table 7-8) are supported by Internet Explorer 4.0 and above, whereas only the Cur-
sor extension is supported in Netscape Navigator 6.x. The Extensions settings shown in Figure 7-23
affect three different areas: page breaks for printing, the user’s cursor, and special effects called filters.
