The funny thing is that the properties window is available in the source view for the .aspx page. But it's empty even when I click on the code in the source view. The property window only populates with properties when I switch to design view. This is as I only know it to be working. But the book is showing that it is possible to show the properties even while in source view. That I should be able to click on an element tag and access it's properties via the property box. This baffles me and I can not see it as being possible.
