Document Window
The Document window is the main workspace where you create and edit Web pages.
You use tools from the various panels, toolbars, and inspectors to manipulate the page
that is open in the Document window.
The Document toolbar, located below the page tabs, includes buttons for the most
commonly used commands related to the Document window. It also includes a text box
for entering the page title , which is the name you give a Web page that appears in the
browser's title bar when the Web page is viewed in a browser window.
At the top of the Document window, the active document's fi le path appears at the
right of the selected page tab. The fi le path ends with the fi lename , which is the name
under which a Web page is saved. If a page has been modifi ed without being re-saved,
an asterisk (*) appears after the fi lename in the page tab. The page that opens by default
when you visit a Web site usually has the fi lename index.htm, index.html, default.htm,
or default.html. The Web server displays this page if the user has not requested a specifi c
fi le in the URL.
