Hi,

I know this is not a dreamweaver dedicated forum but i'm quite sure there are some experienced dw users out there :)

So i'd like to get fully working custom tags.
I've found how to edit/create tag libraries, tags and tag properties alright but dreamweaver won't display the edit tag window on my custom tags as it does with other html tags..

So i must do something wrong or maybe it's sont dw bug?

I've created a simple test tag like this :

tag name : testlink
tag property : testlinktype (enumerated : people,movie)
tag property : testlinkid (text)

I can insert this tag on my text but i can't edit the properties..

when insterted the code looks like that :
<testlink>some text here</testlink>

When i right click on the text the command "Edit tag.." is disabled.. it should show "Edit tag testlink" and then popup a window with the properties defiened but i never get any window..

So basicaly i can insert this tag in my document but i cannot edit its properties thru a user friendly window, i would have to put them by hand and it makes this custom tag useless..

Obviously the custom tag and properties is manageable on purpose so i was wondering if i am missing something or if it's some kind of dw bug?

My tags are made to be processed by a serverside script and removed from the html output to client.

Or is there another way to use custom tags in dw?

Thx

I don't understand the purpose of why you want to do this.
can't you just use a .css to do what you want?
