Editing Attributes

When you add a new item to the Element Tree, the element's attribute editor is added to the right-hand pane allowing you to set attributes, and text for the new node. Figure 3.7 shows the attribute editor for a new <p> using the Xerlin Example DTD.

When creating a new element, the Cancel button is not available. You can only Save this node, or delete it by right-clicking on it in the Element Tree, and choosing Delete. When editing an existing element, the Cancel button will be available to revert close the edit panel without changing the element.

The Location button on the element editor panel hilights the node you're editing in the tree-view. This is usefull when you have multiple elements open at the same time. Each open element has a tab at the top or left of the attribute editor panel.
