inserts blank space above and below the image. H Space Horizontal Space Measured in pixels, this setting inserts blank space to


the left and right of the image. Target Link Target Use this option when the image appears in a page where you want to control the target, such as when a page is part of an HTML frameset or when you want a link to open a new window. The Target specifies the frame into which the linked page opens. I cover creating frames and how to set links in frames in Chapter 7.

The Low Source image loads first and, after the rest of the page loads, is replaced by the primary image. You may find this option especially useful when you have a large image size because you can set a smaller image (such as a stretched black-and-white version) as the Low Source, which displays while the main image downloads. The combination of two images in this way creates the illusion of a simple animation. Border Image Border Measured in pixels, this attribute enables you to put a border around an image. I nearly always set the image border to 0 (zero). Dreamweaver makes that the default setting when linking an image because, otherwise, the viewer sees a colored border around a linked image. Align Alignment This option enables you to align the image. Text automatically wraps around images aligned to the right or left. The other options, including Baseline, Top, and Middle, control how text or other elements align next to the image. The alignment icons control the entire paragraph containing the image, and align the text left, right, or center. 52 Part I: Fulfilling Your Dreams Setting Links Dreamweaver is truly a dream when setting links. The most important thing to keep in mind is that a link is essentially an address (URL) that tells a viewers browser what page to go to when the viewer clicks the text or image
