Nesting: Nest When Created Within An AP Div

Netscape 4 Compatibility: Add Resize Fix When Inserting AP Element

Inserts JavaScript code in the head content of the document to fix a known problem in Netscape 4 browsers that causes AP elements to lose their positioning coordinates when a visitor resizes a browser window.
The JavaScript forces the page to reload each time the browser window is resized, re-assigning the AP elements to the correct position. You can also add or remove the JavaScript code manually, by selecting Commands > Add/Remove Netscape Resize Fix.
