Hi there, I have been usign Homesite for quite a while and now I am playing around with Dreamweaver MX.

It's great, however I am missing two important things.

One is the way of creating hyperlinks. In Homesite you just drag a file from a directory into code-view and homesite will create a link-code to that file instantly.

Second is something similar, regarding images. In Homesite you can drag an image from your directory to code-view and Homesite creates a complete tag for that image, including width, height and these things. In Dreamweaver for me this only works from the Site-Elements list and it is missing the width and height values.

Does anyone know if these functions are possible with Dreamweaver MX? Do I need an extension?

Any hint would be great!
Greetings, Sunny.

Hi Sunny

Creating links with DW can be done in two ways
1. using the browse file, where you browse the folders for the file you want.

2. point to file which is that little wheele looking icon next to the folder. You can just drag that to the file you want to link to in the site

Regarding the images, i've just tried dragging an image from the site view on to a page and it put the width and height in.

hope it helps

Wayne

Hi Wayne, thanks for your reply.

The thing is, the drag-and-drop features seem to work if you use them while "watching" the page. However, if you are in Code-View, it does not. <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>(
