<b>(a)Design Mode:</b> In this mode, children can create HTML pages on the fly using drag-drop feature. The HTML components will be visible on canvas with re-sizing border. Double clicking on any HTML component will bring up its properties loaded into "Properties" window(Shown right below toolbar in screen mockup)

<b>Flow:</b> The flow will be like this: User starts with a new document. A 'New' document will be a new tab in multi-tabbed widget with a canvas as its child. Then the user can proceed in any of two development modes(design and source). Consider the design mode first. The user can create HTML pages on the fly by drag-drop the HTML component on to the canvas. This will bring up the component on canvas and at the same time the resulting HTML markup for entire document will be saved to file( if it is already saved) or to a temp file( if it is not yet saved by user). This mode provides quickest way to create HTML pages. The HTML components listed in toolbar will consists of TextBox, Checkbox, Paragraph, Headings, Tables, Radio button and other HTML markups currently in use. Now consider the source mode. In this mode the user can view the HTML markup. He can write HTML markup on his own in this mode. This will be beneficial for children to practice creating pages once they have idea of structure of markup of HTML components.

This image shows the mockup of screen in Design Mode. On left hand side there is a toolbar consisting of HTML components from where children can drag and drop them on to canvas on the right hand side. 'Canvas' is the region within a tab where HTML components are placed. In this mode the canvas provides ability to move, and reorder the HTML components through mouse itself.

The HTML component can be re-sized within canvas by mouse. However, the properties of component needs to be changed through "Propeties Window" that pops up on double clicking the HTML component.The following screen shows how the component properties and their values will be shown.
