For each type of element, a small selection of attributes is visible on the Attributes pane at the
top right.
Changing attributes via script
Many attributes can be changed via the user interface. Another way to change attributes is by
using a script.
Any of the Script Wizards can produce a script that changes an attribute of an HTML element.
Set the Options in the Script Wizard to Attribute, to output the script's results to the value of a
specific attribute. See "Using the Text Script Wizard" on page 338.
In code, you can change an element's attribute using the function attr(); see "Write your own
scripts" on page 376 and "API" on page 174.
Inserting an element
To insert an element in the content of a template:
1.
Click the respective toolbar button. Alternatively, click the element on the Insert menu.
2. Add an ID and/or a class. ID's and classes are particularly useful with regard to variable
data (see "Personalizing Content" on page 325) and styling (see "Styling templates with
CSS files" on page 399).
3.
Use the Location drop-down to select where to insert the element.
l
At cursor position: The element is inserted where the cursor is located in the
template.
l
Before element: The element is inserted before the current HTML element where
the cursor is located. For example if the cursor is within a paragraph, insertion
occurs before the <p> tag.*
l
After start tag: The element is inserted within the current HTML element, at the
beginning, just after the start tag.*
l
Before end tag: The element is inserted within the current HTML element, at the
end, just before the end tag.*
l
After element: The element is inserted after the current element where the cursor is
located. For example if the cursor is within a paragraph, insertion occurs after the
end tag of the paragraph (</p>).*
* If the current element is located inside another element, use the Elements drop-down to
select which element is used for the insertion location. The list displays every element in
the breadcrumbs, from the current selection point until the root of the body.
