Editing the properties of a custom tag
After custom tags are inserted into your web pages, you can edit attribute names and values, and modify tag content in the Source page. If the content type is JSP, you can also edit in the Design or Split pane.
Before you begin
Procedure
- To edit attributes of a custom tag, use the Source pane.
- To modify the content of a custom tag whose content is tagdependent, use the Source pane.
- To modify the content of a custom tag whose content is JSP, you can use both the Design and Source panes.
Results

- Show with icon
- Show with icon and text
Note: In JSP 1.2 TLD files, each custom tag can have an optional
small-icon that can be used by tools. If a small icon is specified
for a custom tag, the icon is used in the Design pane in place of
the default icon.
Example
This is a portion of a JSP file that displays a custom
tag that has been modified. The Name attribute has been edited.
