Adding content to pages
Last updated 3/28/2012
Src Specifies the source file for the image. Click the folder icon to browse to the source file, or type the path.
Link Specifies a hyperlink for the image. Drag the Point-To-File icon to a file in the Files panel, click the folder icon to
browse to a document on your site, or manually type the URL.
Align Aligns an image and text on the same line.
Alt Specifies alternative text that appears in place of the image for text-only browsers or for browsers that have been
set to download images manually. For visually impaired users who use speech synthesizers with text-only browsers,
the text is spoken out loud. In some browsers, this text also appears when the pointer is over the image.
Map Name and Hotspot tools Allow you to label and create a client-side image map.
V Space and H Space Add space, in pixels, along the sides of the image. V Space adds space along the top and bottom
of an image. H Space adds space along the left and right of an image.
Target Specifies the frame or window in which the linked page should load. (This option is not available when the
image isn’t linked to another file.) The names of all the frames in the current frameset appear in the Target list. You
can also choose from the following reserved target names:
• _blank loads the linked file into a new, unnamed browser window.
• _parent loads the linked file into the parent frameset or window of the frame that contains the link. If the frame
containing the link is not nested, the linked file loads into the full browser window.
• _self loads the linked file into the same frame or window as the link. This target is the default, so you usually don’t
need to specify it.
• _top loads the linked file into the full browser window, thereby removing all frames.
Border The width, in pixels, of the image’s border. The default is no border.
Edit Starts the image editor you specified in External Editors preferences and opens the selected image.
Edit image settings Opens the Image Preview dialog box and lets you optimize the image.
Crop Trims the size of an image, removing unwanted areas from the selected image.
Resample Resamples a resized image, improving its picture quality at its new size and shape.
Brightness and Contrast Adjusts the brightness and contrast settings of an image.
Sharpen Adjusts the sharpness of an image.
Reset Size Resets the W and H values to the original size of the image. This button appears to the right of the W
and H text boxes when you adjust the values of the selected image.
