    Default Insert HTML: CTRL-T vs. Text Properties

    I just noticed this as I work through something:

    There are TWO distinct points where you can insert HTML in a text box:

    1. Double-Click the text box so you are in text insert mode, hit Ctrl-T (or
    select "Insert HTML" from the "Text" menu.) You will get a little white "T"
    inside a blue circle to indicate that there is some code inserted. If you
    Backspce while in the box, you can delete the HTML with a single keystroke.

    2. Single-Click the text box so it is selected, and in the Text Properties
    panel click "HTML..." and enter the HTML there. You will get a "Do Not
    Enter" sign: a horizontal white rectangle inside a blue circle. Although, if
    you don't have at least a line break in the text box, the symbol will not be
    visible. It is also possible to delete the added HTML with a Backspace while
    in insert text mode.

    Is one any better than the other? Or just two routes to the same thing?

    Ray,

    1. Enters code inside the <p> tags of the text object. Yes, you can
    backspace to delete this code.

    2. Allows you to enter code before or after the <p> tags of the text object.
    Actually, the background behind the white bar is green. You CANNOT delete
    this code by pressing backspace inside the text box.

    Two distinct purposes. You can add not just HTML code, but PHP, CF ASP or
    JavaScript, etc. as well.

    Thanks, Chuck.

    You're quite right, it *is* green. ;-D.

    And it only *looks* like you can delete it in #2, since you can't see the
    symbol unless the box is a certain height. So if you have no text in the
    box, or the height is otherwise l2 pixels or less, the symbol is not shown.
