Layout pages using absolute positioning
You can use absolute positioning to control the exact placement of elements on the page.
Follow these steps to position elements on a page:
- Create
a Web page using the New Web Page wizard; when you complete
the wizard, the new page will automatically open in Page Designer.
Click on
the Design or Split tab.
- Drag and drop an element
from the Palette to the page. At
the top left corner of the element, you will see a white arrow on
a black
background:
- Click the top left selection handle and drag the element to a
new
position on the page. The Source view and Properties view
are updated
with the new position, which is measured in pixels.
- To delete the positioning and revert to a flow layout, in the
Properties
view, delete the value in the
Style: Properties field.
<Div> elements can also be placed using absolute positioning.
