Dreamweaver MX CSS Box Properties

Css|dreamweaver Five. Define CSS Style Box Properties

Use the box (also called box) category of the CSS Style Definition dialog box to define settings for labels and properties that control how elements are placed on the page. You can apply settings to individual edges of elements when you apply padding and margin settings, or you can use the all same setting to apply the same settings to all edges of an element.

Define how elements are placed on the page: in the CSS Style Definition dialog box, select boxes (as shown below), and then set the style properties that you want.

If you do not set the property, it can remain empty.
