Using the Advanced Property Editor in Nvu html editor


To add HTML attributes and JavaScript to objects such as tables, images, and horizontal lines, you can use the Advanced Property Editor.

Note: Unless you clearly understand how to add, delete, or modify HTML attributes and their associated values, it's best not to do so.

If you are not currently viewing the Advanced Property Editor dialog box, follow these steps:

1. From the View menu (or the Edit Mode toolbar), choose Show All Tags.
2. Double-click the object that you want to modify to open its Properties dialog box.
3. Click Advanced Edit to open the object's Advanced Property Editor. The Advanced Property Editor has three tabs, each of which lists the current properties for the selected object:
* HTML Attributes: Click this tab to view or enter additional HTML attributes.
* Inline Style: Click this tab to view or enter additional CSS (cascading style sheet) properties through the style attribute.
* JavaScript Events: Click this tab to view or enter JavaScript events.
4. To edit a property or attribute in any of the three lists, select the attribute you want to edit. You can then edit the attribute's name or value using the editable Attribute and Value fields at the bottom of the dialog box. To add a new attribute, type it in the Attribute field at the bottom of the dialog box. The new attribute is automatically added when you click in the Value field. To remove an attribute, select it in the list, and click Remove Attribute.

Note: Required attributes are highlighted in the Attribute list.
5. Click OK to apply your changes to the Advanced Property Editor dialog box.
6. Click OK again to exit the Properties dialog box.

Nvu automatically places quotation marks around any attribute text.
