Insert Functions

Menu and Toolbar

During webpage development, authors frequently need to insert a variety of objects into their documents. The Insert functions within HotDog Pro bring up dialogs that help you to quickly and correctly insert objects into your webpages. From the Insert menu/toolbar you can call up the following dialogs and wizards:

Insert Image: This dialog allows you to specify the image you wish to insert, specify advanced image properties (including Accessibility information), or run the Image Wizard (for beginner's who want you step-by-step guide to inserting images properly). Insert Hyperlink: This dialog makes it easy for you to create anchors/links within your document, specify targets and frame targets as well as including Accessibility information. Insert Target ID: This dialog allows you to specify anchors or jump points within your document, so that you can link to different parts of your document from any hyperlink. Insert Horizontal Rule: This dialog allows you to specify the properties of a horizontal rule that you wish to insert into your document. Insert List and Insert Definition List: These dialogs allow you to specify the properties of lists that you wish to insert into your document. Embed Item: Using this dialog, you can specify the object that you wish to embed and specify the object dimensions. Insert Image Thumbnail Table: This wizard guides you step-by-step through the involved process of creating and inserting an image thumbnail table. Using this wizard allows you to quickly browse directories for images, animations and sounds. Add Publish Field: This useful little wizard shows you how to add publish fields to your webpages or templates.

The Insert functions also allow you to easily insert Comment tags, add special fields (such as the date/time) and insert a HotDog link into your webpages.
