Now create a placeholder to stand in for the images that you'll add later.
-
Click at the beginning of the main text column, just before the word "Title," and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Macintosh) to create a blank line before the title. Then click in the new blank line.
The insertion point should now be on a line by itself. If it isn't, place the insertion point on the blank line.
-
Select Insert > Image Objects > Image Placeholder.
-
In the Image Placeholder dialog box, enter a name for the placeholder (such as SplashImage).
Note: Placeholder names must start with a letter and can contain only letters and numbers.
-
Still in the Image Placeholder dialog box, enter a width and height. If you're creating the Trio Motors page, enter 176 for width and 190 for height.
-
Leave the Color and Alternate Text text boxes blank.
Note: It's important to provide alternative text for some kinds of images, to make the information supplied by the image accessible to visitors who use screen readers or text-only browsers. However, for images that don't provide information, you should use an empty alt attribute. When you leave the Alternate Text text box blank, Dreamweaver adds an alt="" attribute to the img tag.
-
Click OK.
A gray box with the specified dimensions appears. This is a placeholder for an image, often used to help you lay out pages when the final images aren't ready yet.
-
Click in the "Lorem Ipsum Dolor" heading at the top of the page. In the tag selector at the bottom of the Document window, select the <h1> tag, and press Backspace (Windows) or Delete (Macintosh).
The text and the h1 tag are deleted.
-
Leaving the insertion point where it is, repeat steps 2 through 6 to insert another image placeholder. This time, name the placeholder Banner, and enter a width of 600 and a height of 41. Later, you'll replace this placeholder with a banner image across the top of the page.
-
Save your page.
