Region Display Options

Field	Description
Width	Enter the width of the region in pixels, or as a percentage of the overall width of the page. Notes: You must include a percent sign (%) if you want the number you enter to be interpreted as a percentage, rather than a number of pixels. If you choose to have some regions expressed in pixels and others on the same page expressed in percentages, the page may look slightly different in different browsers. Even if you enter 1% in an attempt to make the region as small as possible, the region will expand to display the full content of the region.
Tab Alignment	Choose how you want the tabs in this region to be aligned: on the Left or Right of the region.
Use Rollover Effect For Tab Images	Select to add a rollover effect to the tabs in the region–that is, change the appearance of a tab when the user moves the cursor over the tab. Note: For the rollover effect to work, you must also provide images for the tabs in the region. If you do not provide tab images, this check box has no effect. Add images to the tab by editing the tab (rather than the region) properties.
