Insert panel in Dreamweaver CC
Insert an object
1. Select the appropriate category from the Category pop-up menu of the Insert panel.
2. Do one of the following:
Click an object button or drag the button’s icon into the Document window.
Click the arrow on a button, then select an option from the menu.
Depending on the object, a corresponding object-insertion dialog box may appear, prompting you to browse to a file or specify
parameters for an object. Or, Dreamweaver may insert code into the document, or open a tag editor or a panel for you to specify
information before the code is inserted.
For some objects, no dialog box appears if you insert the object in Design view, but a tag editor appears if you insert the object in Code
view. For a few objects, inserting the object in Design view causes Dreamweaver to switch to Code view before inserting the object.
Note: Some objects, such as named anchors, are not visible when the page is viewed in a browser window. You can display icons in
Design view that mark the locations of such invisible objects.
Bypass the object-insertion dialog box and insert an empty placeholder object
Control-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macintosh) the button for the object.
For example, to insert a placeholder for an image without specifying an image file, Control-click or Option-click the Image button.
Note: This procedure does not bypass all object-insertion dialog boxes. Many objects, including AP elements and framesets, do not insert
placeholders or default-valued objects.
Modify preferences for the Insert panel
1. Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh).
2. In the General category of the Preferences dialog box, deselect Show Dialog When Inserting Objects to suppress dialog boxes when you
insert objects such as images, tables, scripts, and head elements or by holding down the Control key (Windows) or the Option key
(Macintosh) while creating the object.
When you insert an object with this option off, the object is given default attribute values. Use the Property inspector to change object
properties after inserting the object.
Add, delete, or manage items in the Favorites category of the Insert panel
1. Select any category in the Insert panel.
2. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) in the area where the buttons appear, and then select Customize Favorites.
3. In the Cutomize Favorite Objects dialog box, make changes as necessary, and click OK.
