the image from a data source if the dialog attempts to reference an image outside the site.
5. From the Select Image Source dialog box, Windows users should choose the Select File Name
From Data Sources option at the top of the page. Macintosh users should click the Data Source
button found just above the URL field.
6. If necessary, expand the data source to locate and select the appropriate image field.
Dreamweaver places the code for inserting the dynamic image into the URL field.

Dragging images from the Assets panel
Web designers often work from a collection of images, much as a painter uses a palette of colors. Reusing
images builds consistency in the site, making it easier for a visitor to navigate through it. However, trying to
remember the differences between two versions of a logo??”one named logo03.gif and another named
logo03b.gif??”used to require inserting them both to find the desired image. Dreamweaver eliminates the
visual guesswork and simplifies the reuse of graphics with the Assets panel.
The Images category is key to the Assets panel. Not only does the Assets panel list all the GIF, JPEG, and
PNG files found in your site??”whether or not they are embedded in a Web page??”selecting any graphic
from the list instantly displays a thumbnail.
