TIP 6: The Inspector Palette

The Inspector palette in GoLive is where you edit and customize selected objects (Figure 6). The cool thing about the Inspector palette is that it's context-sensitive and changes depending on what is selected. For example, if you select an HTML table, you'll see options for adjusting rows, columns, and borders, but if you select a page in the Site window, you'll see options for adjusting the filename and page title.

Figure 6. The context-sensitive Inspector palette lets you adjust any selected object.

Grabbing Lost Palettes

If you ever have a palette that's stuck and you can't move it, try pressing the Control and Option/Alt keys to grab it with a hand cursor.

When there are too many options to fit in the Inspector palette, the settings are distributed across multiple tabs in the palette, as seen in Figure 6. If you're looking for a setting in the Inspector, but can't find it, make sure to look in the other tabs. If you're not sure you're inspecting the right object, just look in the bottom left corner of the palette where it shows the name of the Inspector, such as Image, Text, or Table.
