Changing element attributes

As you edit Web pages, you might need to edit the attributes for common HTML elements such as lists, tables, or comments.

To change attributes for an element:

1. Select the element whose attributes you want to change.

2. Open the Properties view if it is not already open. You can also select

   Properties from the editor pop-up menu.

3. Update the values of the available attributes for the element. You may have to select the correct tab in the Properties view. For example, to change the alignment for a paragraph, select the

   P tab. For every Properties view page, contextual help for attribute values is available by pressing

   F1.

   Press

   Shift + F1 to invoke the contextual help.

4. Changes to attribute value text fields are reflected in the edited file immediately when cursor focus is changed, or when you press the Enter key. In addition, changes to any controls in the Properties view are immediately reflected in the edited file.
