A method for providing an Integrated Development Environment comprises receiving input from a user identifying an area containing an edge shared by two or more objects, wherein said shared edge includes two or more individual edges corresponding to said objects, and visibly separating said two or more individual edges in a localized exploded view responsive to said receiving.

Localized exploded view

A Web development environment includes a design view mode that provides an expanded view of container constructs within Web page being edited. When operating in a design view of the development environment, the user is provided an option to view all container constructs in an expanded view. The expanded view will temporarily increase the visual attributes of the container constructs allowing the user to more easily access the editing regions within the cells or content locations of the container. Increasing the visual attributes also allows the developer to see the structure of the edited Web page more clearly. When the developer is finished working with the container, he or she may then return to a standard or other view offered by the graphical development environment. The resulting containers will be re-rendered according to the originally-coded size, without the additional space added for viewing in the expanded mode.

A method for providing an Integrated Development Environment comprises receiving input from a user identifying an area containing an edge shared by two or more objects, wherein the shared edge includes two or more individual edges corresponding to the objects, and visibly separating the two or more individual edges in a localized exploded view responsive to the receiving.

A system and method is described for visually editing a stacked object in a design view canvas of an application development environment. Within the design view canvas, a badge control is rendered that is associated with the stacked object. A set of one or more navigation tools is contained within the badge control along with a set of one or more editing tools. When the user interacts with the navigation tools, presentation of the information contained by the stacked object is controlled. When the user interacts with the editing tools, the content and composition of the stacked object can be manipulated.
