Knowledge of attributes and clicking using
the right mouse button makes TopPage operations
easy.
This section contains the following topics:
Each element inserted on a Web page contains
attributes. For example, a table contains
such attributes as width and color, whereas
an image contains such attributes as width
and height. Attributes are used mainly for
changing appearance.
When you construct a table, you first create
the table itself and then you change its
width or color. When you insert an image,
you first insert the generic image, and then
you change its width or height. Thus, when
you work with elements in TopPage, you first
create or insert elements, and then you change
their attributes.

In the preceding description, if you click
an element using the right mouse button,
menus other than Attributes appear. Most applications that run under
Windows enable you to click using the right
mouse button to do various tasks. TopPage
enables you to click using the right mouse
button not only on elements but also on files
and folders. If you want to do a certain
task with an element, a file, or a folder,
try clicking it using the right mouse button.
