Window size pop-up menu
(Not available in Code view.) Lets you resize the Document window to predetermined or custom dimensions. When you change the view size of a
page in design or live view only the dimensions of the view size change. The document size is unaltered.
In addition to predetermined and custom sizes, Dreamweaver also lists sizes specified in a media query. When you select a size corresponding to
a media query, Dreamweaver uses the media query to display the page. You can also change the page orientation to preview the page for mobile
devices where the page layout changes based on how the device is held.
Document size and download time
Shows the estimated document size and estimated download time for the page, including all dependent files such as images and other media files.
Encoding indicator
Shows the text encoding for the current document.
Property inspector overview
The Property Inspector lets you examine and edit the most common properties for the currently selected page element, such as text or an inserted
object. The contents of the Property Inspector vary depending on the element selected. For example, if you select an image on your page, the
Property Inspector changes to show properties for the image (such as the file path to the image, the width and height of the image, the border
around the image, if any, and so on).
The Property Inspector is at the lower edge of the workspace by default, but you can undock it and make it a floating panel in the workspace.
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:
Lets you create and insert the most commonly used objects, such as images and tables.
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.
Contains buttons for creating forms and inserting form elements, including Spry validation widgets.
