Mozilla Composer is an HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) editor -that allows you to create and edit web pages. Composer is a -WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor, so you can -display how your page will look to the reader as you're creating -it. It is not necessary for you to know HTML, since most of the -basic HTML functions are available as commands from the toolbars -and menus.
- -Composer also lets you edit the HTML source if you want. To view -or edit the HTML source code, open the View menu, and choose HTML -Source, or click the <HTML> Source tab in the Edit Mode -toolbar at the bottom of the Composer window.
- -To create a web page, use one of the methods described below. -Once you've started a page, you can add and edit text just as you -would in a word processor.

You can save Composer documents in HTML or text-only format. -Saving a document in HTML format preserves the document's -formatting, such as text styles (for example, bold or italic), -tables, links, and images. Saving a document in text-only format -removes all the HTML tags but preserves the document's text.
- -To save a document as an HTML file:
- -If you haven't already given your page a title, Composer prompts -you to do so. Composer displays the page title in the browser -window's title bar when you view the page in the browser. The -document's page title also appears in your list of bookmarks if you -bookmark the page.
- -Composer then prompts you to enter a filename and specify the -location where you want to save the file. Make sure you preserve -the .html extension in the filename.
-To change the filename or location of an existing HTML file:
- -When you save a page in Composer, all parts of the page (the -HTML, images and other files, such as sound files and style -sheets), are saved locally on your hard drive. If you only want to -save the HTML part of the page, you must change the Composer -preference for saving pages. See Composer Preferences - Composer -for more information on changing Composer's setting for saving -pages.
- -If an image location is absolute (starts with "http://") and you -are connected to the Internet, you will still see that image in the -document in Composer and Navigator. However, if the image location -is relative to the page location (starts with "file:///"), then you -won't see the image in the local version of the document.
- -To save a document as a text-only file:
- -Note: Images do not appear in documents saved in the -text-only format.
- -Tip: You can choose Revert to Last Saved from the File -menu to retrieve the most recently saved copy of the document in -which you're working. Keep in mind that your current changes will -be lost.

-contains two tabs: Table and Cells.Note: Composer uses a dotted outline to display tables -with a zero border; the dotted line disappears when the page is -viewed in a browser.
-To view, change, or add properties for one or more cells:
- -Note: To apply additional attributes or JavaScript -events, click Advanced Edit to display the Advanced Property Editor
- - -Tip: To change the text color or background color of one -or more selected cells or the entire table, select the cells or -click anywhere in the table and then click the text color or -background color icon in the Format toolbar.
- -Tip: To change the color of cells to the color last used, -select the cell, then press Shift and click on the background color -picker. This is useful when you want to use one color for -individual cells.

Composer allows you to quickly add or delete one or more cells, -columns, or rows in a table. In addition, you can set options that -allow you to maintain the original rectangular structure or layout -of the table while you perform editing tasks.
- -To add a cell, row, or column to your table:

- -To split a joined cell back into two or more cells:
- -Refer to Selecting Table Elements -for information on how to select non-adjacent cells, rows, and -columns.

By default, when you delete one or more cells, Composer -preserves the table's structure by adding cells at the end of a -row, wherever needed. This allows you to delete one or more cells -but still maintain the table's original rectangular layout, or -structure. Otherwise, deleting cells can result in a table with -empty spaces, or whose outline appears irregular due to an uneven -number of cells.

If you plan to publish documents to more than one remote -location, you can set up Composer to save the publishing -information for each remote site you use, so that you don't have to -enter it each time you want to publish.
- -To create a new publishing site, begin from a Composer -window:
- -For example, if you will use the new site to publish documents -related to the "Meteor" project, you might want to use the site -name "Meteor". Site names remind you about the types of documents -you publish at each site.
-The publishing address specifies the location where documents -are published (uploaded) at this site. If you are not sure what to -enter, ask your ISP or system administrator.
-This URL must always begin with http://. In some cases, -this URL is the same as the publishing address. If you are not sure -what to enter, ask your ISP or system administrator, or else leave -it blank.

- -Regardless of how many sites you've set up, you can always -publish a document to a different site by choosing Publish As from -Composer's File menu. See Changing the -Filename or Publishing Location for more information.
- -To choose the default publishing site, begin from a Composer -window:
