Using the Quick Tag Selector - 1/16/2007 10:14:15   
Expression Web makes it very easy to select and edit the code that's working on any given part of your page.

Make sure you're in Split Screen mode. Go to veiw, and make sure there is a check next to Quick Tag Selector.

In design view, click in an area of the page. You will see all tags at work on that area of the page in a row of small boxes just below the page tabs and just above the code view window.

On that tag bar, click on the tag you want to modify. A down arrow becomes visible. Select "Edit Tag" or "Tag Properteis."

Use these dialogs to quickly find and modify the tags on your page.

You can also quickly find and modify the css that works on any of your tags.

Make sure you're in Split Screen mode. In the Design view, click on the tag you want to modify. A down arrow becomes visible. Choose "Select Tag."

Now look at your selection in code view. Everything is selected from the beginning tag to the close tag. The beginning tag may look something like this.

<p class="style5">

The "style5" class will be underlined. In code view, hold down the control key, and click on "style5." This takes you right to the css code block for editing whether that code block is on that page or on an external style sheet.

Thank you. Your post was very helpful. I spend some good time playing with the ideas. I even created a new style and named and saved it. But I could not find how to apply it to sections of the document. Thanks for your help on this.

Ah-ha, I always enjoy these types of tips!

There is another way to do this for those who would prefer to use the keyboard instead of menus. While in design view, make sure you have Tag Marks selected from the ¶ menu.

Now, click on any of the tags and Ctrl + Q to bring up the Quick Tag Editor. ;)

If you are using an external style sheet, make sure it is attached to your page.
To apply a style make sure you have the apply style task pane showing. Place your cursor within the text where you want to apply the style from the task pane - click on the style. You can also use the dropdown list for some styles.
