Datasheet

The code that’s produced here is what’s parsed by the browser. The browser has no understanding of
what you’re developing visually. Instead, it parses the
<table>, <tr>, and <td> tags, and associated
properties of the table, and attempts to display within the browser something close (if not exact) to what
you developed visually within Expression Web.

The Quick Tag Selector
As you build your Web pages visually within the Design view, you’ll quickly find that you either need
to place your cursor within a specific tag or manipulate properties of a particular tag while in Design
view. The Quick Tag Selector (located just above the development area and just below the Tabbed File
Chooser) displays a hierarchal list of tags from where your cursor is positioned in both the Design and
Code views. This allows you to select a particular tag, manipulate its properties, or even wrap the tag
with a new tag without having to switch to the Code view.
It’s important to note that when you click the New Page icon in the Folder List Task
Pane, the new page is created as
default.htm. If you select File ➪ New ➪ HTML to
create a new file, the new page is created as
Untitled_1.htm.
