Inserting code quickly with the Coding toolbar

You can use the Coding toolbar to quickly add code to your page.

To insert code quickly:

1.

Make sure you are in Code view (View > Code).

2.

Position the insertion point in the code, or select a block of code.

3.

Click a button in the Coding toolbar, or select an item from a pop-up menu in the toolbar.

To find out what each button does, position the pointer over it until a tooltip appears. The 
following buttons are displayed by default in the Coding toolbar.

Open Documents

 lists the documents that are open. When you select one, it is displayed in 

the Document window.

Collapse Full Tag

 collapses the content between a set of opening and closing tags (for 

example, the content between 

<table>

 and 

</table>

). You must place the insertion point in 

the opening or closing tag and then click the Collapse Full Tag button to collapse the tag.

TIP

You can also collapse the code outside a full tag by placing the insertion point in an 
opening or closing tag and Alt-clicking (Windows) or Option-clicking (Macintosh) the 
Collapse Full Tag button. Additionally, Control-clicking this button disables “smart 
collapse” so that Dreamweaver doesn’t adjust the content it collapses outside full tags.
