Inserting images
You can open and preview any graphic in a GIF, JPEG, or PNG format in Dreamweaver. You have
many options for placing a graphic on your Web page:
Position your cursor in the document, and from the Common category of the Insert panel,
click the Image button.
Position your cursor in the document, and from the menu bar, choose Insert
➪ Image.
Position your cursor in the document and press Ctrl+Alt+I (Command+Option+I).
Drag the Image button from the Images menu of the Insert panel’s Common category onto
your page.
Drag an icon from your file manager (Explorer on Windows or from the Finder or the
Desktop on a Mac) or from the Files panel onto your page.
Drag a thumbnail or filename from the Image category of the Assets panel onto your page.
This capability is covered in detail in a subsequent section, “Dragging Images from the
Assets Panel.”
For all methods except those using the Assets panel or the file manager, Dreamweaver opens the Select
Image Source dialog box (shown in Figure 9-4) and asks you for the path or address to your image file.
Remember that in HTML, all graphics are stored in separate files linked from your Web page.
FIGURE 9-4
In the Select Image Source dialog box, you can keep track of your image’s location relative to
your current Web page.
