Using Coding Tools
You can use any combination of typing, toolbars, tag dialog boxes, templates, and wizards to create page elements, format content, and add hyperlinks.
Typing tools
- Use Tag Insight to select tag attributes as you type.
- Use Function Insight to select expression arguments as you type.
- Use keyboard shortcuts for tags and commands.
- Set Tag Help options (F8) to validate code and convert ASCII special characters as you type.
- Save code blocks as Snippets for easy re-use.
- Use Code Templates to expand code and text blocks as you type.
Tag dialog boxes
Tag-specific syntax and usage help is available in tag dialog boxes.
- Click buttons on the customizable QuickBar to display tag dialog boxes that allow you to enter HTML, CFML, and scripting tags.
- Keep the Tag Chooser (Ctrl + E) open to quickly select from the complete HTML and CFML tag sets, and specialized languages.
Code generators
- Use templates and wizards (File > New) to generate code for common page elements such as framesets and tables and DHTML scripts for browser-based outlines and slide shows.
- Use Design mode to prototype page layouts and to quickly create HTML tables and forms and set font and image formatting.
- Integrate HomeSite with Macromedia Dreamweaver to generate DHTML elements.
- Open TopStyle Lite to design, preview, and link Cascading Style Sheets.
