Selecting elements using the markup tree bar
The markup tree bar at the bottom of the document window provides a navigational tool that makes selecting HTML
elements quick and precise, even in complex documents. The markup tree bar represents the current selection in the
Layout Editor, Frame Editor, source code panel, or Outline Editor as a path or series of element tags from the root to
the currently selected element. For example, with a table cell selected, the markup tree bar displays a path of tags
starting with the HTML element, and then the body, table, table row, and table cell elements. When you select an
element's tag in the markup tree bar, the complete element and its contents (including start and end tags) is selected
in the document window and in the Source Code palette.
You can use the markup tree bar to select an element within the currently selected element—that is, at the next level
lower in the HTML hierarchy. For example, you can select a table row within the currently selected table. Or, you can
use the markup tree bar to select an element that is outside the currently selected element—that is, at a level higher
or closer to the root. For example, if a table cell is currently selected, you can select the table row or the table where
the cell is located.
