Insert panel overview
The Insert panel contains buttons for creating and inserting objects such as tables, images, and links. The buttons are
organized into several categories, which you can switch by selecting the desired category from the Category pop-up
menu. Additional categories appear when the current document contains server code, such as ASP or CFML
documents.
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 panel is organized in the following categories:
The Common category Lets you create and insert the most commonly used objects, such as images and tables.
The Layout category Lets you insert tables, table elements, div tags, frames, and Spry widgets. You can also choose
two views for tables: Standard (default) and Expanded Tables.
The Forms category Contains buttons for creating forms and inserting form elements, including Spry validation
widgets.
The Data category Lets you insert Spry data objects as well as other dynamic elements like recordsets, repeated
regions, and record insertion and update forms.
