Insert bar overview

The Insert bar contains buttons for creating and inserting objects such as tables, AP elements, and images. When you
roll the pointer over a button, a tooltip appears with the name of the button.

The buttons are organized into several categories, which you can switch by clicking the tabs along the top of the
Insert bar. Additional categories appear when the current document contains server code, such as ASP or CFML
documents. When you start Dreamweaver, the category you were last working in opens.

Some categories have buttons with pop-up menus. When you select an option from a pop-up menu, it becomes the
default action for the button. For example, if you select Image Placeholder from the Image button’s pop-up menu, the
next time you click the Image button, Dreamweaver inserts an image placeholder. Anytime you select a new option
from the pop-up menu, the default action for the button changes.

The Insert bar is organized in the following categories:

The Common category
