The web perspective

The web perspective combines views and editors that assist you with web application development. This is the perspective in which you typically edit web project resources, such as HTML and JSP files, and deployment descriptors.

The following are some of the views that are helpful when developing web applications in the web perspective.
Colors
Enables you to apply colors from a palette (or custom colors) to selected objects in the editing area.
Mobile Navigation
Use the Mobile Navigation view to manage Dojo mobile view widgets.
Palette
Contains expandable drawers of drag objects. Enables you to drag objects, such as tables or form buttons, onto the Design or Source page.
Problems
Shows list of errors, warnings, and information about an operation. For example, if there are errors when validating the code in an HTML file, the errors appear in this list.
Properties
Provides tabbed pages that enable you to update properties for tags that are selected in files open in the active web editor. Changes to property value text fields are reflected in the edited file immediately when cursor focus is changed, or when you press the Enter key. In addition, changes to any of the controls in the Properties view are immediately reflected in the edited file.
Quick Edit
Enables you to edit small bits of code, including adding and editing actions that are assigned to tags.
Servers
Lists servers that are defined for the project and their status.
Services
Lists all of the services available to all of your projects including web services and RPC Adapter services. This view does not require you to open a web page in the editor in order to view the services specific to that particular page.
Snippets
Contains expandable drawers of drag code snippets. For instance, you can add JavaScript macros that become part of the user interface (UI), like a script to display the date and time when the page was last updated. If you are working in a JSP file, you can add common JSP code. You can drag code snippets into the Design and Source pages.
Styles
Provides guided editing for cascading style sheets and individual style definitions for HTML elements.
Tasks
Shows a list of "to do" items that you create and to which you assign priorities. To create a task, right-click in the list and select Add Task from the menu.
Thumbnails
Shows thumbnails of the images in the selected project, folder, or file. This view is especially valuable when used to add images from the artwork libraries (included in the product) to your page designs. You can drag from this view into the Enterprise Explorer view or the Design or Source page of Page Designer.

There are other views in this perspective that you might find useful. To add more views, select Window > Show View from the menu bar. You can close, resize, or move any of the views.
