Use Attributes

If you choose to input attributes from the status bar, you can select which ones you want to be asked about. If you choose to be asked about attributes in a dialog box you will always be asked about everyone.

Note: This menu is disabled if you choose to input attributes in a dialog box with all attributes (the default).


For inputting attributes in the status bar, HTML mode is by default set to ask about the ones which I think is the most popular ones. If you choose to use the status bar to input attributes I recommend that you go through the list and choose the ones you want. In this list LI IN UL and LI IN OL are the LI element for UL and OL lists respectively. BUTTON, CHECKBOX, FILE, HIDDEN, IMAGE, PASSWORD, RADIO, RESET, SUBMIT and TEXT are the INPUT element with different TYPEs. LIVEAUDIO, LIVEVIDEO, QUICKTIME MOVIE, QUICKTIME VR and REALAUDIO are different plug-ins. All the rest are the usual names of the elements.

The picture above shows, as an example, the dialog box for IMG where you can select which optional attributes you want to be asked about. There is also a question "Ask for more?" If you answer yes, the following will happen when you are asked about attributes for this element:

The idea is that you can put a kind of half way mark. First you are asked about the ones you always want to be asked about, and then you are optionally asked about the rest.

Note: The settings only affect the current HTML package. You have to set everything for both packages even if an element is in both of them. This is because some elements have different attributes in the different packages.
