4. When you are finished setting these options, select another CSS category on the left side of the panel to set additional style
properties, or click OK.
Define CSS style list properties
The List category of the CSS Rule Definition dialog box defines list settings, such as bullet size and type, for list tags.
1. Open the CSS Styles panel (Shift+F11) if it isn’t already open.
2. Double-click an existing rule or property in the top pane of the CSS Styles panel.
3. In the CSS Rule Definition dialog box, select List, and set any of the following style properties. (Leave the property blank if it is
not important to the style.)
Sets the appearance of bullets or numbers. Type is supported by both browsers.
Lets you specify a custom image for bullets. Click Browse (Windows) or Choose (Macintosh) to browse to
an image, or type the image’s path.
Sets whether list item text wraps and indents (outside) or whether the text wraps to the left margin
(inside).
4. When you are finished setting these options, select another CSS category on the left side of the panel to set additional style
properties, or click OK.
Define CSS style positioning properties
The Positioning style properties determine how the content related to the selected CSS style is positioned on the page.
1. Open the CSS Styles panel (Shift+F11) if it isn’t already open.
2. Double-click an existing rule or property in the top pane of the CSS Styles panel.
3. In the CSS Rule Definition dialog box, select Positioning, and then set the style properties you want.
Leave any of the following properties empty if they are not important to the style:
Determines how the browser should position the selected element as follows:
Absolute places the content using the coordinates entered in the Placement boxes relative to the nearest absolutely- or
relatively-positioned ancestor, or, if no absolutely- or relatively-positioned ancestor exists, to the upper-left corner of the
page.
Relative places the content block using the coordinates entered in the Placement boxes relative to block’s position in the
text flow of the document. For example, giving an element a relative position and top and left coordinates of 20px each will
shift the element 20px to the right and 20px down from its normal position in the flow. Elements can also be positioned
relatively, with or without top, left, right, or bottom coordinates, to establish a context for absolutely-positioned children.
Fixed places the content using the coordinates entered in the Placement boxes, relative to the top left corner of the
browser. The content will remain fixed in this position as the user scrolls the page.
Static places the content at its location in the text flow. This is the default position of all positionable HTML elements.
Determines the initial display condition of the content. If you do not specify a visibility property, by default the
content inherits the parent tag’s value. The default visibility of the body tag is visible. Select one of the following visibility
options:
Inherit inherits the visibility property of the content’s parent.
Visible displays the content, regardless of the parent’s value.
Hidden hides the content, regardless of the parent’s value.
Determines the stacking order of the content. Elements with a higher z-index appear above elements with a lower z-
index (or none at all). Values can be positive or negative. (If your content is absolutely positioned, it’s easier to change the
stacking order using the AP Elements panel).
Determines what happens if the contents of a container (for example, a DIV or a P) exceed its size. These
properties control the expansion as follows:
Visible increases the container’s size so that all of its contents are visible. The container expands down and to the right.
Hidden maintains the container’s size and clips any content that doesn’t fit. No scroll bars are provided.
Scroll adds scroll bars to the container regardless of whether the contents exceed the container’s size. Specifically
