About the Quick Tag tools

The Quick Tag Selector and the Quick Tag Editor make it easier for you to select and edit tags and attributes.

Quick Tag Selector

The Quick Tag Selector is a toolbar at the top of the document window. It is available in Code, Design, and Split views.

When you place the insertion point anywhere on a page, the Quick Tag Selector displays a tag selector showing the underlying HTML tag for that area. For example, if the insertion point is in a table cell, the <td> tag selector appears in the Quick Tag Selector.

When you move the pointer over the tag selector, an arrow appears on the selector. You can click this arrow to display the edit and selection options for that tag. Those options include:

• Select Tag    Selects the start and end tags and the content of those tags.
• Select Tag Contents    Selects only the content of the start and end tags.
• Remove Tag    Removes the start and end tags, but leaves the content of those tags.
• Tag Properties    Opens the properties dialog box for the tag.

There are other options on the Quick Tag Selector as well. These options — Edit Tag, Insert HTML, Wrap Tag — open the Quick Tag Editor.

Quick Tag Editor

By using the Quick Tag Editor, you can quickly edit a tag. You can open the Quick Tag Editor by clicking the tag selector for a tag in the Quick Tag Selector, and then clicking any of the following options:

• Edit Tag    Enables editing of the current tag, including attributes and other aspects of the tag. You can also use Edit Tag to change the type of tag or to add additional tags.
• Insert HTML   Adds HTML to the page.
• Wrap Tag   Wraps a tag that you specify around an existing tag. The original tag becomes nested inside the tag you specify.

In addition, IntelliSense features are available in the Quick Tag Editor. For example, if you type part of a tag, IntelliSense will complete the tag for you if this feature is enabled.
