plug-ins within your page. Date: Opens the Insert Date dialog that allows you to choose from a list of pre-configured date and/or time stamp options. Server-Side Include: Select this button to open the Select File dialog. Use this dialog to browse for and select a server-side include to use within your page. As you'll see later in the book, server-side includes are web pages that can be inserted into other web pages, making global changes easier and much more efficient. Comment: A programmer's friend, you can quickly insert comments directly into your HTML code by selecting this option. Comments aren't visible to users in the browser but rather are visible to you, the developer, in Code view. Templates: Use the Templates menu to choose objects for working with templates. Templates are covered in greater detail in Chapter 15, "Working with Templates." Tag Chooser: Choose this option to open the Tag Chooser dialog. The Tag Chooser is a handy window that allows you to select and subsequently insert any element from the library of HTML, CFML, ASP, ASP.NET, JSP, Jrun, PHP, and WML tags. Layout Objects As you begin to familiarize yourself with table-based web page design (covered in greater detail in Chapter 6, "Web Page Structuring Using Tables"), you'll use the Layout objects with more regularity. The Layout category is broken up into three modes: Standard mode allows you to work with tables, <div> tags, and layers freely; Expanded mode temporarily adds padding to tables, making them easier to work with; and Layout mode offers you a quick and easy approach to drawing tables and cells directly onto the Document window. Here's a complete list of features beginning from left to right: Insert Table: Opens the Insert Table dialog that allows you to customize further options for the insertion of a new table in the Document window. Insert Div Tag: Opens the Insert Div Tag dialog that allows you to customize options for the insertion of a new <div> tag in the Document window. Draw Layer: Allows you to freely draw a layer onto the Document window. Standard, Expanded, Layout Modes: Allows you to select between the default Standard mode, Expanded mode, or Layout mode. In Layout mode, the following options become available: Layout Table: Choosing this option allows you to draw a table onto the page, bypassing the Insert Table dialog. Draw Layout Cell: Choosing this option allows you to draw cells within a drawn table. After you've drawn cells within a table, the following four options become available: Insert Row Above: Inserts a row above a cell. Insert Row Below: Inserts a row below a cell. Insert Column to the Left: Inserts a column to the left of a cell. Insert Column to the Right: Inserts a column to the right of a cell. Frames Menu: Opens the Frameset submenu that allows you to pick from various options for splitting the Document window into frames. Frames are covered in more detail in Chapter 8, "Working with Frames and Framesets." Tabular Data: Opens the Insert Tabular Data dialog. Use this option when you want to import large amounts of data contained in spreadsheets, comma-separated files, comma-delimited files, and so on. Form Objects Covered in more detail in Chapter 9, "HTML Forms," form objects facilitate interactivity between your users and your dynamic web applications. Aside from adding form objects by using the Insert, Form menu, you can visually add form objects from this category.
