Working in the Design and Split views
When you edit in the Design view, your work reflects the layout and style of the web pages that you build. The Design view removes the added complexity of source tag syntax, navigation, and debugging.
Use the Split view to show both the Design view and the Source view in a split screen view. Changes that you make in one part of the split screen are automatically updated in the other part. You can split the view horizontally or vertically.
About this task
- Editor menu options
- Pop-up menu actions
- User interface options, such as those in the Styles view
- Drag-and-drop behavior
The Design and Split views also provide support for absolute positioning. You can see the immediate impact of design decisions more quickly than in a text editor. Using these views, you can efficiently and precisely change the composition and attributes of pages, tags, images, and effects.
Many actions available through the editor menus are also available from design element pop-up menus. To access the design element pop-up menus, select a page object, and then right-click the object.
