The HTML inspector displays the source code for the current document. Tags are color coded according to the settings in the HTML Colors preferences. As you add or change content in the Document window, Dreamweaver immediately displays the changes in the HTML inspector. This makes the HTML inspector a useful tool for learning HTML if you don't already know it, or for reminding yourself of proper syntax or values for specific tags or attributes.
Changes you make in the HTML inspector appear in the Document window only when you click away from the HTML inspector. Dreamweaver never rewrites HTML that you type directly in the HTML inspector; if you enter invalid HTML here, Dreamweaver highlights the tags as invalid markup items when you activate the Document window.
To open the HTML inspector, do one of the following:
|
Choose Window > HTML. |
|
Click the HTML inspector icon in the Launcher or in the Mini-Launcher (in the lower right corner of the Document window). |
|
Press F10. |
To toggle between the document window and the HTML inspector:
|
Press Control-Tab (Windows) or Command-Tab (Macintosh). |
