When you select a positioning option from the Insert Code pop-up menu, the options available in the Relative Position
pop-up menu change to provide relevant options for that part of the page. For example, if you select Above The <html>
Tag In The Insert Code pop-up menu, the positioning options available in the Relative Position pop-up menu reflect
choices relevant for that part of the page.
The following table shows the code block insert options, and the relative positioning options available for each:
To specify a custom position, you must assign a weight to the code block. Use the Custom Position option when you
need to insert more than one code block in a particular order. For example, to insert an ordered series of three code
blocks after the code blocks that open recordsets, you would enter a weight of 60 for the first block, 65 for the second,
and 70 for the third.
By default, Dreamweaver assigns a weight of 50 to all recordset-opening code blocks inserted above the <html> tag. If
the weight of two or more blocks match, Dreamweaver randomly sets the order among the blocks.
