Modifying The Insert Bar - Adobe 38040334 - Dreamweaver CS3 User Manual

Modifying the Insert bar

You can move objects from one category to another, rename categories, and completely remove objects from the
panel. To make the changes appear in the Insert bar, you must either restart Dreamweaver or reload extensions. For
information on reloading extensions, see "Reloading extensions" on page 74.
To move or copy an object from one Insert bar category to another or to a new location within a category:
1 Save a backup copy of insertbar.xml (with a name such as insertbar.backup.xml).
Open the original insertbar.xml file.
2
Find the tag that represents the object you want to move or copy. For example, to move the Image object

On your disk, move the object's HTML, GIF, and JavaScript files out of their current folder, and put them into a

folder that isn't listed in the insertbar.xml file. For example, you can create a new folder in the Configuration/Objects
folder named Unused, and move the object's files there. (If you're certain you want to remove the object, you can
delete those files entirely; however, it's a good idea to keep backups of those files in case you need to restore the object
later.)
