| <h1 class="topictitle1">Using the Web palette</h1> |
| <div><div class="skipspace">The Web tools palette lets you quickly drag items from the palette |
| onto the JSP or HTML file you are editing. To begin using the palette:</div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>If the palette does not open, click <b>Window |
| -> Show View -> Other -> Basic -> Palette</b>.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Click one of the drawers in the Palette view.</span> The |
| drawer expands and displays a list of items that you can drag and drop onto |
| the page. For example, if you are editing a JSP file and you click the JSP |
| Tags drawer, you will be able to drag Beans, Expressions, and Scriptlets onto |
| the page. If you click the HTML drawer, you can drag Images, Bulleted Lists, |
| and Tables on to the page. (You can <a href="../../org.eclipse.wst.webtools.doc.user/topics/tpalette2.html">customize</a> the items that appear in a drawer.)<p> Note |
| that the type of JSP file you are editing determines the drawers that appear |
| in the palette.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Drag an item from a drawer to the desired place in the JSP or HTML |
| file. (You can also click a location on the page, and then click on an item |
| in the drawer.) Make sure that you drag and drop appropriate items onto a |
| page. For example, if you are creating a static HTML page, you should not |
| drop JSP items onto the page.</span></li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="skipspace">Once the item appears on the page, you can usually set attributes |
| for it in the <b>Properties</b> view. You might also be prompted to set attributes |
| when you drop the item.<p>By default, if you have one drawer |
| open and you open another drawer, the first drawer will stay open provided |
| that all items in the second drawer can be displayed. If not, one of the existing |
| drawers will close. If you want to always keep a drawer open, you can click |
| the Pin icon in the title bar for that drawer. </p> |
