If you??™re a touch-typist,
your hands never have to leave the keyboard to accept a particular tag or attribute. If you prefer to use the
mouse, you can easily double-click to select your entry. If you like, Dreamweaver even completes your code
with an ending tag.
The Code Hints that appear are stored in Dreamweaver??™s Tag Library database and can be modified by
choosing Edit ??? Tag Libraries. Code Hints are available for the Web languages HTML (including XHTML),
CFML, ASP.NET, JSP, JRun Custom Library, ASP, PHP, and WML, as well as Dreamweaver templates tags and
Sitespring Project Site tags.
