Layout boxes

To position text and images freely on your page, you can create an area called the layout box, position the frame anywhere in a Web page, and then insert text or images in it. You can align layout boxes with a grid and stack multiple layout boxes to change page layout and design.

As an alternative to layout boxes, you can also consider using free layout mode to create a similar effect.

In some cases, if you create your page using layout boxes, the images and the text in the page might be stacked on one another, depending on the size of a browser or the screen resolution. To avoid this situation, it is recommended that you use tables rather than layout boxes for page layout.

Note: Layout boxes use style sheet technology; therefore, only Netscape Navigator 4.0 or later and Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.0 or later can display layout boxes. The contents of a layout box might look different on various browsers.
