Dreamweaver 8 Tutorial: Insert Toolbar
You will spend much of your time developing web pages by inserting text, graphics, and other elements into your web page. The Insert Toolbar provides many buttons that insert elements into your Web page. The Insert toolbar provides too many buttons to display on the toolbar at once, so the buttons are divided into categories (common, text, forms, HTML, application, layout, flash elements, and favorites) and one category is displayed at a time.
Dreamweaver 8 Tutorial: Using the Insert Toolbar
The Insert toolbar can be formatted with a button that displays a menu of categories or with tabs across the top of the tool bar that display the categories. To display the buttons from a particular category, click on a category from the drop-down menu. When you click a category, the button display changes to the selected category.
You can change the toolbar format from buttons to tabs by clicking on the categories drop-down menu and selecting Show as Tabs.
The buttons will change to tabs across the top of the Insert Toolbar.
You can insert elements into your Web page by clicking buttons or by dragging the buttons into the Document window. When the Insert toolbar is formatted with tabs for each category, as it is in the figure below, it behaves like a panel. You can collapse and expand it by clicking on the panel name.
You can also float the Insert toolbar by grabbing it in the upper left corner and dragging it to a new location on the screen. The cursor will change to two crossed lines with arrows indicating that it can be moved.
Common - This set of objects contains those that are most commonly used such as links and images.
Layout - This set includes tables, divs, layers, and frames: all objects that let you describe how you want to layout your page.
Forms - The forms set includes form elements such as text fields, buttons, and check boxes.
Text - The text set lets you style text that's on the page. The Property Inspector at the bottom of the Dreamweaver workspace, however, is a better place to do this.
HTML - The HTML set allows you to insert HTML objects such as tables, frames and scripts.
Application - If you using external data sources with middleware software such as PHP, ASP, or ColdFusion, you'll use the Application set. For normal static Web page development, you won't use this.
Flash Elements - This set holy holds one object, the Flash image viewer.
Favorites - The Favorites category begins empty. You can customize it by adding your own button to the features you use most frequently.
