Whenever you assign a link to an image, HTML automatically
places a border around that image; the color is determined by the Page Properties Link color, where
the default is bright blue. Dreamweaver intelligently assigns a 0 to the border attribute whenever you
enter a URL in the Link text box. If you??™ve already declared a border value and enter a link, Dreamweaver
won??™t zero-out the border. You can, of course, override the no-border option by entering a value in the
Border text box.
Specifying a lowsrc
Another option for loading Web page images, the lowsrc attribute, displays a smaller version of a large
graphics file while the larger file is loading. The lowsrc file can be a grayscale version of the original, or a
version that is physically smaller or reduced in color or resolution. This option is designed to significantly
reduce the file size for quick loading.
Select your lowsrc file by clicking the file icon next to the Low Src text box in the Image Property inspector.
The same criteria that apply to inserting your original image also apply to the lowsrc picture.
One handy lowsrc technique first proportionately scales down a large file in a graphics-processing
program. This file becomes your lowsrc file. Because browsers use the final image??™s
height and width information for both the lowsrc and the final image, your visitors immediately see a
blocky version of your graphic, which is replaced by the final version when the picture is fully loaded.
