The HTML Outline window provides an overview of the HTML elements on your page and a convenient way of navigating between them. In the HTML Outline window, you can:
The HTML Outline window displays the most commonly used elements in a document. To avoid making the view too complex, it does not show every possible element. For example, the HTML Outline window does not show individual paragraph tags (<P>) or individual table cells (<TD>). The complete list of elements that can appear in the HTML Outline window is in the following table.
| Element | HTML tag |
| Body | <BODY> |
| Form | <FORM> |
| Text box | <INPUT> or <INPUT TYPE="text"> |
| Text area | <TEXTAREA> |
| Password field | <INPUT TYPE="password"> |
| File field | <INPUT TYPE="file"> |
| Hidden field | <INPUT TYPE="hidden"> |
| Checkbox | <INPUT TYPE="checkbox"> |
| Radio button | <INPUT TYPE="radio"> |
| Submit button | <INPUT TYPE="submit"> or <INPUT TYPE="image"> or <BUTTON TYPE="submit"> |
| Reset button | <INPUT TYPE="reset"> or <BUTTON TYPE="reset"> |
| Button | <INPUT TYPE="button"> or <BUTTON TYPE="button"> or <BUTTON> |
| Combo box | <SELECT> |
| Listbox | <SELECT SIZE=2> |
| Link | <A HREF="URL"> |
| Bookmark | <A NAME="name"> |
| Image | <IMG> |
| Marquee | <MARQUEE> |
| IFrame | <IFRAME> |
| Table | <TABLE> |
| Table row | <TR> |
| Control | <OBJECT> |
| Java applet | <APPLET> |
| Division | <DIV> |
| Span | <SPAN> |
| Horizontal rule | <HR> |
Objects appear in the HTML Outline window only if they are between the <BODY> and </BODY> tags in the page. The tree view displays objects using the document's hierarchy. For example, if a table appears within a form, the HTML Outline window places the table as a node under the node for the form.
The tree view displays the elements ID if it has one, or its name if there is no ID. If the element has neither an ID nor name, the outline shows the element's type (for example, "Button").
