Page content and assets
Last updated 11/30/2015
The assets are removed from the Favorites list, but not from the Site list. If you remove a Favorites folder, the folder
and all its contents are removed.
Create a nickname for a favorite asset
You can give nicknames (for instance, PageBackgroundColor rather than #999900) to assets only in the Favorites list.
The Site list retains their real filenames (or values, in the case of colors and URLs).
1 In the Assets panel (Window > Assets), select the category that contains your asset.
2 Select the Favorites option at the top of the panel.
3 Do one of the following:
• Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the asset’s name or icon in the Assets panel, then select Edit
Nickname.
• Click the asset’s name once, pause, then click it again. (Do not double-click; double-clicking opens the item for
editing.)
4 Type a nickname for the asset, then press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
Group assets in a Favorites folder
Placing an asset in Favorites folder does not change the location of the asset’s file on your disk.
1 In the Assets panel, select the Favorites option at the top of the panel.
2 Click the New Favorites Folder button .
3 Type a name for the folder, then press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh).
4 Drag assets into the folder.

Insert and edit images
Many different types of graphic file formats exist, but three graphic file formats are generally used in web pages—GIF,
JPEG, and PNG. GIF and JPEG file formats are the best supported and can be viewed in most browsers. You can easily
insert images and edit them using the Dreamweaver user interface.
GIF (Graphic Interchange Format) GIF files use a maximum of 256 colors, and are best for displaying noncontinuous-
tone images or those with large areas of flat colors, such as navigation bars, buttons, icons, logos, or other images with
uniform colors and tones.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) The JPEG file format is the superior format for photographic or continuous-
tone images, because JPEG files can contain millions of colors. As the quality of a JPEG file increases, so does the file
size and the file download time. You can often strike a good balance between the quality of the image and the file size
by compressing a JPEG file.
