 The InterfaceHome > Build > Software > Dreamweaver > Tutorial by Aaron West Toolbars Dreamweaver has 3 primary toolbars: Objects, Properties and Launcher. The Objects Toolbar allows you to insert objects with the click of a mouse. The Properties Toolbar is the most important of them all. It is used to specify attributes on the selected object. The Launcher Toolbar opens different palettes. The Properties Toolbar
This is the toolbar you will use most often. This is where you specify attributes for the object you are working with. An object is anything HTML element. Text is an object, as is a graphic, a list, a table and a form. Options on the toolbar change according to the active object. The figure above is the default if no object is selected. As you can see, most of the default options have to do with the presentation of text. When the 'More' arrow on the lower right corner is selected, the Toolbar doubles in size, with some advanced options.
With no objects selected, there are no advanced options.
Here we show the toolbar with an image selected. As you can tell, the options have all changed. There are fields for width and height dimensions, links, vertical space, horizontal space, alignment, maps ... These are all Advanced Options that will be explained later in the tutorial. The Objects Toolbar
You can also toggle the items in this toolbar by clicking on the arrow near the top. This brings up a sub-menu where you can change to Forms, Head, and Invisibles. With Forms you can add standard form objects. With the Head Objects, you can define your meta tags and other information that appears in the <HEAD> container. With the Invisible Objects you can add anchors, comments, scripts and more. Unless you author with a large monitor, I recommend you keep this toolbar closed to avoid clutter in your work area. I've found the more workspace I have, the easier it is to work and the better the results.
