Ive recently been playing around with creating layouts in Photoshop and then bringing them over to Dreamweaver.
After i do that, i create the hole layout into one big divtag just to clean it up.

But after that, i wanted to put in some AP Divtags with various contents ontop of the layout.
But when i preview the page in a browser, and resize the page, the AP Divs are thrown out of place from the site.
Is there a way of overcoming this so the APdivs will take the same action as the rest of the site when it is resized?

Any help would be much appreciated.
And sorry if what i wrote doesn't make sense or isn't proper, im just a beginner!

And that is one of the reasons why all-AP layouts are a BAD idea. Learn to use the normal document flow, floats, and strategic use of background images and such to achieve a layout with as few positioned elements as is feasible. IE6 in particular has some major bugs with AP.

Having said that - if your entire layout is inside a "container" div, make sure that #container is set to position:relative. AP elements are positioned relative to it's nearest positioned ancestor, otherwise they are positioning relative to the body.
