Although many tasks can also be performed in the same way in the Source page, the Design page provides full access to Page Designer menu options, context menu actions, view-specific GUI options (such as those in the Styles view), and drag-and-drop behavior. Note that dynamic data will not be displayed correctly in the Design page; you must run it on a server using the
option from the page's pop-up menu in the Project Explorer or from the main menu.The Design page also provides support for frames and free layout mode, which enables you to easily create more complex Web pages. You can see the immediate impact of design decisions more quickly than you would using a text editor. You can change the composition and attributes of pages, tags, images, and effects efficiently and precisely.
Many actions available through the Page Designer menus are also available from design element pop-up menus, which you access by selecting a page object and right-clicking.
