Inserting Images

 
 

Images can be inserted into an HTML document either by clicking on the Insert pull down menu and selecting Image, or by clicking the appropriate button on the Basic toolbar.

 Inserting an image   


Clicking the Image button in the Basic toolbar brings up an open dialogue which allows you to find the image you would like to place on the page. Once your image has been placed on the page, double-clicking it will evoke the Object Editor window.  All basic options for embedding images in Web pages are controlled here. The Object Editor can also be opened by clicking the Object Editor button



 

Alt Label: allows you to set a text string that will appear in place of the image on browsers that cannot display images or have that option disabled. Border: allows you to create a border around an image. Border width is measured in pixels. Alignment: Text alignment controls where the text will sit when it is next to the image.  Choose an alignment style based on the example image on the button. Client-Side Image Map: allows the image to have multiple links as "hot spots". Hot spots are designated by defining boxes in the image. The mouse pointer will become the standard finger pointing icon when over a hotspot, indicating that it is an active link. Transparency and Interlace: sets the transparent color in a GIF file, and turns Interlacing on or off. Width and Height: The width and height of the image can be set in pixels or percentages.  The Reset Size button will return the image to it's actual size if the exact numbers are not known.  Extra HTML: this area is for any additional raw HTML attributes.
