boen_robot 107 Posted October 15, 2007 Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Errrr... exactly what are you talking about? It may be a misspelled "div" or something... where did you saw that term? If we can see the full text, we might decipher it for you. I mean, that's not a "general" term you can find anywhere, that's for sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
javierdl 2 Posted October 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2007 Sorry, I guess I should have been more specific.Example: <div id="apDiv22"I know Div stands for Divider, but what about "apDiv" ?JDL Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jlhaslip 1 Posted October 16, 2007 Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 That is merely the "id" for that particular div. Elements with an "id" can be more easily targeted for styling and gives you more control of the style.For example, the code that follows, the first rule applies a color to all div's, and the second one apply a color to only the div with and 'id' = "this. div { color: #cc3333; }div#this { color: #6666ff; } Id's are stronger than classes in the scheme of things, although classes can be used for more elements on a page. Id's can (should) only be used once per page.Read up on specificity here:http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/cascade.html#cascade Quote Link to post Share on other sites
javierdl 2 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2007 Thanks for the complete reply jlhaslip :)Reason why I was asking is because Dreamweaver has a column specifically to list all AP Elements in the code. These AP Elements (apDiv1. apDiv2, apDiv3, etc) were initially created by Photoshop when exporting the image with slices, I purposely chose for it to use CSS/Div as oppose to tables. Actually, I just found some more info on this from the Dreamweaver Help file:"An AP element in Dreamweaver is an HTML page element—specifically, a div tag, or any other tag—that has an absolute position assigned to it."Thanks again guys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
