The Component Window

When you open a component, WebObjects Builder displays it in a component window . You create your component's appearance graphically in the upper pane of the component window. The browser at the bottom of the window (known as the object browser ) displays variables and methods your component uses.

The path view lies between the two panes. It displays the element path to the selected element. Any element can be contained in a hierarchy of several levels of elements and can in turn contain other elements. Here, the path view shows that the cursor is contained in the HTML <BODY> tag, which is at the top level of the hierarchy. You can click on an element in the path view to select it.

The toolbar at the top of the window contains buttons you use to create the content of your component. WebObjects Builder also has menu commands corresponding to these buttons.
