Inspecting translated attributes

When server markup specifies a single attribute and the attribute is represented in a Property inspector, Dreamweaver displays the server markup in the Property inspector, as shown in the following figure:

The markup appears whether or not a translator is associated with it. The translator runs whenever the user edits the server markup that appears in the Property inspector.

When server markup controls more than one attribute in a tag, the server markup does not appear in the Property inspector. However, the lightning bolt icon shows that translated markup exists for the selected element

NOTE

The lightning bolt icon does not appear when text or table cells, rows, or columns are selected. Translation continues if the user edits server markup in the panel and a translator exists to handle that type of markup.

The text boxes in the Property inspector are editable; users can enter values for attributes that might be controlled by server markup, which results in duplicate attributes. If both a translated value and a regular value are set for a particular attribute, Dreamweaver displays the translated value in the Document window. You must decide whether your translator searches for duplicate attributes and removes them.
