Customizing the Objects Panel
In earlier chapters, we used the Objects panel to insert many built-in objects into an HTML document. You can add a custom icon to the Objects panel to insert any object. The Objects panel offers greater flexibility than library items, which insert HTML code only. To create a new object for the Objects panel, create an HTML document, including JavaScript that inserts your object into the current document.
Basing your new object on one of the existing objects in the
Dreamweaver4/C
onfiguration/Objects folder is
your most convenient option. Within that folder are subfolders
corresponding to the seven default categories of the Objects panel
(Characters, Common, Forms, Frames, Head, Invisibles, and
Special)
plus a Tools folder for the Draw Layout Table and
Draw
Layout Cell tools that are always visible in the Objects panel
Tip
The subfolder in which an object file is placed determines the category under which it appears in the Objects panel. Items can be moved between folders, and folders can be renamed.
