Inserting layout boxes

You can use layout boxes to position text and images freely on your Web pages
Inserting a layout box on your Web page creates a <DIV> tag with absolute positioning. The layout boxes can overlap other objects on the page.

To insert a layout box:

  1. Select Insert > Layout Box to insert the layout box.
  2. In the Properties view, you can set numerous attributes for the frame, including:
    DIV tab
    • An ID for the frame
    • Size and page placement attributes
    • A background color or image
    Layout Box tab
    • A layer level for frame-stacking
  3. To change the size of the layout box, drag one of the small squares in the perimeter of the frame.
  4. To move the layout box, move the cursor near the boundary of the frame until it turns into a cross. Then drag the frame to your target location.
  5. Insert any elements, such as text, images, or tables, in the layout box.
