The HTML inspector displays the source code for the current document. Tags are color-coded according to the settings in the HTML Tag Colors preferences. As you make changes in the Document window, Dreamweaver instantaneously displays the changes in the HTML inspector. However, changes you make in the HTML inspector are displayed in the Document window only when you activate another Dreamweaver window.
If you enter invalid HTML that Dreamweaver doesn't support in the HTML inspector, Dreamweaver highlights the tags as invalid markup items when you activate the Document window.
To open the HTML inspector, do one of the following:
![]() |
Choose Window > HTML. |
![]() |
Click the HTML inspector icon in the Launcher or in the lower right corner of the Document window. |
![]() |
Press F10. |
To toggle between the document window and the HTML inspector:
![]() |
Press Control-Tab (Windows) or Command-Tab (Macintosh). |
