button to the right of the attribute-value column. Then select a source.

Quick Tag Editor overview
You use the Quick Tag Editor to quickly inspect, insert, and edit HTML tags without leaving Design view.
If you type invalid HTML in the Quick Tag Editor, Dreamweaver attempts to correct it for you by inserting closing
quotation marks and closing angle brackets where needed.
To set the Quick Tag Editor options, open the Quick Tag Editor by pressing Control-T (Windows) or Command-T
(Macintosh).
The Quick Tag Editor has three modes:
• Insert HTML mode is used to insert new HTML code.
• Edit Tag mode is used to edit an existing tag.
• Insert HTML mode is used to insert new HTML code.
• Edit Tag mode is used to edit an existing tag.
• Wrap Tag mode is to wrap a new tag around the current selection.
Note: The mode in which the Quick Tag Editor opens depends on the current selection in Design view.
In all three modes, the basic procedure for using the Quick Tag Editor is the same: open the editor, enter or edit tags
and attributes, and then close the editor.
You can cycle through the modes by pressing Control+T (Windows) or Command+T (Macintosh) while the Quick Tag
Editor is active.
