This helps make navigation and editing -easier. Content and attribute values can be edited directly in the table cells, -while pop-up menus on the tree elements give alternatives that are valid for -that particular element.</p><div class="skipspace"><p> For example, the <b> <span class="uicontrol">Add child</span></b> menu item will -list only those elements from a DTD or XML schema which would be valid children -at that point.</p> -<p>When you have an XML file associated with an XML schema -or DTD file, certain tags and rules for that file have already been established, -which is why the Design view can provide prompts (via a pop-up menu) for those -tags. When you create an XML file that is not associated with an XML schema -or DTD file, it has no tags or rules associated with it, so the Design view -cannot provide prompts for specific tags, but it can provide prompts to create -new elements and attributes.</p> -<p>For any XML file associated with an XML -schema or DTD file, you can use the Design view to add any items defined in -the XML schema or DTD (such as elements and attributes) to the XML file. You can -also use it to add processing instructions and comments to all XML files.</p> -<p>For -more information on the icons used in the Design view, refer to the related -reference.</p> -<p>The following instructions were written for the Resource -perspective, but they will also work in many other perspectives.</p> -<p>To -edit an XML file in the Design view, follow these steps:</p> -</div> -<ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Open the XML file that you want to work with in the XML editor -(right-click the file in the Navigator view and click <b> <span class="uicontrol">Open With -> XML Editor</span></b>).

This option will not be available -if the item you want to remove must exist (for example, in your DTD, you have -declared that "One or more" of the item must always exist in your XML file, -and the item you have selected is the only one that exists in your XML file).</li> -<li> <b> <span class="uicontrol">Add Attribute</span></b> - Click this if you -want to add an attribute to the element that you selected. Any attributes you -are allowed to add to the element will be listed.
