Here's a cool trick with the JSP/HTML visual editor in JDeveloper 10g.

Say your cursor is inside of a HTML table cell and you want to select the entire row containing the current cell where your cursor is. This is easily done with the "Select parent tag" feature in JDeveloper's JSP/HTML Visual editor.

To select a parent tag of where your cursor location is, simply click:
Ctrl-Alt-UpArrow

For example click on this will change the selection from a table cell (td) to a table row (tr) . Clicking this again will select the entire table.

I find this feature extremely useful when I'm dealing with nested tags and want to precisely select the exact parent of a tag.
