By default, the Object palette is divided into six panels: Characters, Common, Forms, Frames, Head, and Invisibles (for information on the objects in these panels, see Object palette). The panels correspond to folders in the Configuration/Objects folder within the Dreamweaver application folder.
For each object on a panel of the Object palette, there are two or three files in the corresponding folder:
|
A GIF file containing an icon for the object |
|
An HTML file containing either the HTML to be inserted into your file or an HTML form that lets you specify data to be inserted (such as the text of a comment) |
|
A JavaScript file (optional) that generates the HTML to be inserted into your file |
You can move objects from one panel to another, rename panels, and remove objects from the palette altogether. Once you've made changes, you can reload extensions to make the changes appear in the Object palette.
To move an object from one Object palette panel to another:
Move the object's HTML and GIF files (and the JavaScript file, if any) from one folder to another within the Configuration/Objects folder. Be sure to move all of the object's files.
To rename a panel on the Object palette:
Rename the corresponding folder in the Configuration/Objects folder.
To remove an object from the Object palette:
Move the object's HTML, GIF, and JavaScript files out of the Configuration/Objects folder.
To reload extensions after making a change inside the Configuration/Objects folder:
| 1 | Control-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macintosh) the pop-up menu at the top of the Object palette. |
| 2 | Choose Reload Extensions. |
