FIGURE 3-6
The Tag Selector enables you to highlight just the code you want. Here, selecting the

tag chooses only the portion
of the text enclosed by that tag.
As a Web page developer, you??™re constantly selecting elements in order to modify them. Rather than rely on
the click-and-drag method to highlight an area??”which often grabs unwanted sections of your code, such
as tags??”use the Tag Selector to unerringly pick just the code you want. Dreamweaver??™s Tag Selector
is a subtle but extremely useful tool that can speed up your work significantly.
Right-clicking (Control+clicking) an item in the Tag Selector displays a menu that contains several tagediting
commands. Using this menu in Design view, you can remove the tag or select a class or id attribute
for the tag. From either Design view or Code view, you can also modify the tag by choosing Edit Tag
from the context menu.
Select, Hand, and Zoom tools
With the greater layout flexibility made possible by CSS positioning comes the need for more powerful
design tools. The first set of tools on the right side of the Status bar offer Dreamweaver designers a number
of options for viewing and interacting with the page at design-time.
With the new Zoom enhancement, Dreamweaver joins the ranks of other page layout programs by offering
designers the ability to magnify a page for finer design control.
