When you insert an image into a Dreamweaver document, Dreamweaver automatically generates a reference to the file in the HTML. To ensure that this reference is correct, the image file must be inside the current site. If it is not, Dreamweaver asks whether you want to copy the file to a folder within the current site.
To insert an image:
| 1 | Do one of the following: |
|
Place the insertion point where you want the image to appear in the Document window, and then choose Insert > Image or click the Insert Image button on the Common panel of the Object palette. |
|
Drag the Insert Image button from the Object palette to the desired location in the Document window. |
|
Drag an image from the desktop to the desired location in the Document window; then skip to step 3. |
| 2 | In the dialog box that appears, click Browse (Windows) or Choose (Macintosh) to choose a file, or type the path for the image file. |
| If you are working in an unsaved document, Dreamweaver generates a file:// reference to the image file. When you save the document anywhere in the site, Dreamweaver converts the reference to a document-relative path. | |
| 3 | Set image properties in the Property inspector. |
| See Image properties. | |
