Inserting an image

When you insert an image into your Web page, Claris Home Page creates a pointer to the folder where the image file is stored. Before you add images to your Web pages, make sure the image files are stored in the images folder that you have set up for your Web site (see Setting up the media folder for more information). Then set the images folder to be the default location where Claris Home Page stores converted files. (See Specifying the default converted images folder.)

To insert an image into your Web page:

1. Place the insertion point in the page where you want the image to appear.
   
2. Choose Image from the Insert menu or click the Insert Image button on the toolbar.
   
   You can also add an image to your Web page by dragging it.
   
3. In the Open dialog box, select the image file and click Open.
   
   The image appears on the Web page.
   
   If the image is a JPEG or GIF file, Claris Home Page creates a pointer to the current location of the file. If the image is in a different file format (such as BMP, TIFF, or PICT), Claris Home Page converts the file to GIF format.

Note To view JPEG images that you insert into Claris Home Page on the Macintosh, you need QuickTime 2.0 or later installed on your computer. Your audience won't need this application if their browsers support JPEG images.
