inserting images links

Inserting images

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 "category of the Objects panel. Set image properties in the Property inspector.

Inserting links

"Link" makes the selected text a hyperlink to the specified target. Using Dreamweaver, there are several ways to easily create local links (between documents in the same site):

• Use the site map to view, create, change, or delete links.
• In the Document window, use "Modify" > "Make Link "to select a file to link to.
• Use the "Property inspector" to link to a file, by using the folder icon to browse to and select a file, using the Point-to-File icon to select a file, or typing the path of the file. The properties of a link are the Target: specifies the frame or window in which the linked page should load. The type of link
  
• _blank loads the linked file in a new, unnamed browser window.
• _parent loads the linked file in the parent frameset or window of the frame that contains the link.  If the frame containing the link is not nested, the linked file loads into the full browser window.
• _self loads the linked file in the same frame or window as the link.  This target is implied, so you generally don't need to specify it.
• _top loads the linked file in the full browser window, thereby removing all frames.  To create an external link (to a document on another site), you must type the absolute path (with proper protocol) in the Property inspector.  Be sure you enter the entire path (including http://) when creating external links.
