Live Data view is extremely helpful in building your Web applications. Find out more about
how to use this important feature in Chapter 22.

The status bar is found at the bottom of the Document window. Embedded here are three important tools:
the Tag Selector, the Window Size pop-up menu, and the Download Indicator. These helpful status bar
tools provide the Web designer with several timesaving utilities.

from your application.
Tag Selector
The Tag Selector is an excellent example of Dreamweaver??™s elegant design approach. On the left side of the
status bar, you see a listing of the current HTML tags. When you first open a blank page in Dreamweaver,
you see only the tag. If you type a line of text and then press Enter (Return), the paragraph tag

appears. Your cursor??™s position in the document determines which tags are displayed in the Tag
Selector. The Tag Selector keeps continuous track of where you are in the HTML document by displaying
the tags surrounding your current cursor position. This becomes especially important when you are building
complex Web pages that use such features as nested tables.
