Replace an image placeholder
An image placeholder does not display an image in a browser. Before you publish your site you should replace any
image placeholders you’ve added with web-friendly image files, such as GIFs or JPEGs.
If you have Fireworks, you can create a new graphic from the Dreamweaver image placeholder. The new image is set
to the same size as the placeholder image. You can edit the image, then replace it in Dreamweaver.
1 In the Document window, do one of the following:
• Double-click the image placeholder.
• Click the image placeholder to select it; then in the Property inspector (Window > Properties), click the folder icon
next to the Src text box.
2 In the Image Source dialog box, navigate to the image you want to replace the image placeholder with and click OK.
