How To Make a Library Item in Dreamweaver
October 3, 2008 by Pablo Palatnik
When building a website in dreamweaver, one of the most important components of building a website, or tool I should say, is using what is called a “library item” which is a file that allows you to create a file which can be changed sitewide when you need to make a change to a certain part of your website. Components such as a logo, footer, etc are things that are changed moreless often on a website.
These library items are in the assets part of dreamweaver where you will create the file. How to create a library item:
-Open the library panel by clicking Window > Assets, and then choosing the Library button
-Select the portion of HTML that you want to convert into a library element. This can be a block of HTML or a section of the page in design view.
-Drag that selection to the library pane and drop it there.
-Give your library item a name that will help you remember what it is.
Now, when you need to change the library item, go to the assets, click on the library item you created, make the changes and hit save. Now, the library item (which again, could be a logo, etc) will change sitewide.
