The top of the window shows 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 element path shows that the heading
element is contained in the page element, which is the top level of the hierarchy.
When you click an icon in the element path, the appropriate Inspector for that
element appears. In this case, if you click the page icon, the Page Attributes
Inspector appears. (

Note:

If no element is selected, the Inspector shows Page

Attributes by default.)

The Make Dynamic button in the Inspector allows you to convert an HTML
element into a dynamic WebObjects element. Dynamic elements have a Make
Static button, which allows them to be converted to their static counterparts.
This feature is discussed in more detail in “Dynamic and Static Inspectors”.

Structure Elements

By default, the switchable toolbar displays the Structure elements.

The following sections describe the elements you can create with these buttons.
