Using Tag Editors
Tag Editors are tag-specific dialog boxes that contain the attributes and values of the
selected tag. Online help is available in each Tag Editor.
Tag Editors fully support ColdFusion Server 5.
About VTML Tag Editors
You can choose from two different Tag Editors for three tags: Anchor <a>, Body <b>,
and Image <img>. The standard Image Tag Editor calculates the height and width of
an image for you and provides an image preview. The standard Body Tag Editor has a
preview for the colors of the page background, text, and each type of link.
Otherwise, the VTML Tag Editors contain everything in the standard dialogs, plus
support for multiple languages, browsers, event code, and coding preferences. For
example, VTML Tag Editors detect the language of a document (e.g., XHTML) and
insert code in that language. The VTML Anchor Tag Editor also supports multiple
protocols and accessibility options not found in the standard Anchor Tag Editor.
For information about VTML, see
To use a VTML Tag Editor instead of a standard Tag Editor:
1
On the Options > Settings > Markup Languages > HTML/XHTML pane, select the
Anchor - <A>, Body - <BODY>, or Image - <IMG> options as desired.

Click Apply.
