The Launcher

The Launcher contains buttons for opening and closing your most frequently used inspectors and palettes. The icons on the Launcher are repeated on the Mini-Launcher at the bottom of the Document window for easy access when the Launcher is closed. You can set which icons appear in the Launcher using the Floating Palettes panel of the Preferences dialog box. The Launcher shown below is for Dreamweaver 4:

HTML Inspector:

Open the HTML inspector by clicking on the HTML button of the Launcher and you see the HTML source code the program has generated for the page you are working on. Source code containing HTML tags lies behind every HTML page, with code elements set off in brackets.

Elements are instructions that tell the browser how to display the page. These elements were covered in great detail in the Instructional Design (Web I) class.
