Link
specifies a hyperlink for the image. Drag the Point-to-File icon to a file in
the Site window, click the folder icon to browse to a document on your site, or
type manually the URL path.
Align
aligns an image and text on the same line. See “Aligning elements” on page 271.
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 Field
enables you to create client-side image maps. See “Creating
image maps” on page 273.
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 document 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.
Low Src
specifies the image that should load before the main image. Many
designers use a 2-bit (black and white) version of the main image because it loads
quickly and gives visitors an idea of what they’re waiting to see.
Border
sets the width, in pixels, of a border around the image. Enter 0 for
no border. You can apply a border to both linked and unlinked images. You set
link color in the Page Properties dialog box. If you set a border for an image
which has no links, the border will be the same color as text in the paragraph in
which the image is inserted.
Edit
launches the image editor you specified in External Editors preferences and
opens the selected image. When you save your image file and return to
Dreamweaver, Dreamweaver updates the Document window with the edited
image. See “Using an external image editor” on page 277.
Reset Size
resets the W and H values to the original size of the image.
