Using Reveal Tags View in FrontPage version 2002

With Microsoft FrontPageŽ 2002 you can troubleshoot Web pages by using the Reveal Tags View. By turning on Reveal Tags in Normal view, you can quickly determine if tags are missing end tags, find unnecessarily repeated tags or correct ones that are improperly nested. By selecting the problem tag and switching to HTML view you then can find and easily correct the problem in the code because it is already selected.

To troubleshoot Web pages by using the Reveal Tags View, open your Web in FrontPage 2002 and do the following:

  1. To show HTML tags from the View menu, click Reveal Tags.
  2. To hide HTML tags from the View menu, click Reveal Tags to clear the check mark.

Tip: If you move the pointer over an HTML tag in the Normal pane, FrontPage displays a ScreenTip showing the entire text of that tag, including its attributes and values. You can also see what a tag contains and where its corresponding end tag is by clicking on the tag to select it and its contents. This feature is especially useful when looking for tags that are missing an end tag or unnecessary tags, (such as the repeated <font> tag in the example pictured below).
