HEAD, an icon appears at the top of the Document window.
HTML files are made up of two main sections: the HEAD and the BODY. The BODY is the part of the document that is visible to the user in a browser window (and in the Document window in Dreamweaver). The HEAD is generally invisible, with the exception of the TITLE, which appears in the title bar of both the browser and the Document window and is used as the label for bookmarks to the document.
The HEAD contains important information in addition to the TITLE, including the document type, the language encoding, JavaScript and VBScript functions and variables, and keywords and content indicators for search engines. You can view the elements in the HEAD using the View menu or the HTML inspector.
To view elements in the HEAD of a document:
|
Choose View > Head Content. For each element in the HEAD, an icon appears at the top of the Document window. |
To insert elements into the HEAD of a document:
| 1 | Choose Head from the pop-up menu at the top of the Object palette. |
| 2 | Click one of the buttons in the Object palette. |
| 3 | Enter options for the element in the dialog box that appears or in the Property inspector. |
 |
To edit elements in the HEAD of a document:
| 1 | Click one of the icons in the head area to select it. |
| 2 | Set or modify the properties of the element in the Property inspector. |
