Selecting Elements in the Layout and Preview Views

There are several operations you perform in WebObjects Builder that require you to select an element, such as copying, deleting, inspecting, or "wrapping" one element inside another.

You select text elements as you would in most text-editing applications: by dragging, or by double-clicking words, or by triple-clicking lines, or by Shift-clicking. The selected text appears shaded.

Some elements (such as text fields and text areas) can be selected simply by clicking them; they appear shaded.

Other elements (such as tables) require you to click outside the element and drag across it in order to select it.

To select a range of elements, drag across them, or press the Shift key while clicking at the end of the range.

You can also select elements in the path view by clicking the HTML tag corresponding to the element.
