Toolbox panel

You can use the Toolbox panel to drag HTML elements, form controls and ASP.NET controls onto your web pages. The code Microsoft Expression Web creates when you drag an item onto your page depends on the DocType declaration in your page. For example, if your DocType is HTML, when you drag a BREAK element onto the page, Expression Web creates a <br> tag. If your DocType is XHTML, Expression Web creates a <br /> tag.

For more information about DocTypes, see Set document type information.
