Use Invisible Elements preferences to select which kinds of elements will be visible when you select View > Invisible Elements. Invisible elements such as scripts, comments, and named anchors are represented by markers in the Document window. Showing invisible elements lets you select these markers so that you can change the invisible elements' properties in the Property inspector.
To change Invisible Elements preferences:
| 1 | Choose Edit > Preferences, then click Invisible Elements |
| 2 | Select which elements should be made visible. A check mark next to the name of the element in the dialog box means the element is visible when View > Invisible Elements is selected. |

These are the invisible elements whose markers you can show or hide:
Named Anchors Displays an icon that marks the location of each named anchor (A NAME ="") in the document.
Scripts Displays an icon that marks the location of JavaScript or VBScript code in the body of the document. Select the icon to edit the script in the Property inspector or to link to an external script file.
Comments Displays an icon that marks the location of HTML comments. Select the icon to see the comment in the Property inspector.
Line Breaks Displays an icon that marks each line break (BR). This option is deselected by default.
Client-side Image Maps Displays an icon marking the location of each client-side image map in the document.
Embedded Styles Displays an icon showing the location of CSS styles embedded in the body of the document. If CSS styles are placed in the head of a document, they do not appear in the Document window.
Hidden Form Fields Displays an icon that marks the location of form fields where TYPE="hidden".
Form Delimiter Displays a border around a form so you can see where to insert form elements.
Anchor Points for Layers Displays an icon that marks the location of code defining a layer. The layer itself can be anywhere on the page. Select the icon to select the layer.
Anchor Points for Aligned Elements Displays an icon showing the location of HTML code for elements that accept the ALIGN attribute. These include images, tables, ActiveX objects, plugins, and applets. In some cases, the code for the floating element may be separated from the visible object.
Backstage lbObjects Displays an icon that marks the location of Backstage objects. The only way to modify these objects is in the HTML Source inspector or in another HTML editor.
Server Markup Tags Displays the location of server markup tags (such as Active Server Page tags and Cold Fusion tags) whose content cannot be displayed in the Document window.
