The tag selector also gives you access to another useful Dreamweaver feature: the quick tag editor. The quick tag editor allows you to observe and modify HTML tags while still working in design view.
To use the quick tag editor via the tag selector, highlight an element on the page then right-click the required tag in the tag selector and choose quick tag editor.
To insert a new tag, click to position the cursor after the name of the tag then press the spacebar on your keyboard. A list of possible attributes is displayed. Use the scroll bar, or press the up and down cursor keys on your keyboard, to move through the list then press Enter to select the required item. (You can also double-click any item in the list to select it.) Dreamweaver inserts the attribute and positions the cursor ready for you to type the associated value.
The quick tag editor is useful if you want to add an attribute to an HTML element which is not available in the Properties panel, for example, the title attribute of the <a> element. The title attribute is used to add information about the link such as its purpose or kind and is important in making links accessible and search engine friendly. The following Flash movie shows how to use the quick tag editor to add a title attribute to an <a> tag.
