Property inspector

The Property inspector allows you to examine and edit properties for the currently selected page element. (A page element is an object or text.) You can select page elements in either the Document window or the HTML Source inspector.

To show or hide the Property inspector, choose Window > Properties.

Most changes you make to properties are immediately applied in the Document window. (There are some properties for which you may need to click outside their property-editing text fields, or press Tab to switch to another property, to apply a change.)

Which properties appear in the Property inspector depends on the element selected. For information on specific properties, select an element in the Document window and then click the Help icon in the upper right corner of the Property inspector.

The Property inspector initially displays the most commonly used properties of the selected element. Click the expander arrow in the lower right corner of the Property inspector to see more of the element's properties. (In a few cases, certain obscure properties may not appear even in the expanded Property inspector.)
