Creating and editing Web pages - overview

Page Designer is an advanced-function HTML and JSP editor that allows you to quickly build complex Web pages. To extend these pages, you can also include form elements, Javaâ„¢ applets, JavaScriptâ„¢, graphic effects, JavaServer Pages (JSP) tags, and JavaServer Faces.

You can display local tag hover help for all supported tag sets, and make use of content assist (Ctrl+Spacebar), a tool that helps you insert or finish a tag or function or finish a line of code in a structured text editor.

Web Site Designer enables you to customize the layout and style of your web site, organize the site hierarchy using the site map's drag-and-drop capabilities, and automatically create navigation bars on web pages.

For Windows You can toggle among three modes to visually design pages, work with HTML, JavaScript or JSP content, and preview your pages. To help you create the visual impact you want on your Web sites, the editor includes its own library of reusable graphics and two graphic programs for creating, editing, and animating image files.

For Linux You can toggle between two modes to visually design pages or work with HTML, JavaScript or JSP content. To help you create the visual impact you want on your Web sites, the editor includes its own library of reusable graphics and a graphic program for creating, editing, and animating image files.

Note: Use either uppercase or lowercase alphanumeric characters consistently when naming HTML files and embedded files (such as image files) used in your Web pages, because some server operating systems are case sensitive. Do not use spaces or special characters such as exclamation points or question marks in file names.
