The Insert Bar:
The Insert bar, located across the top of the screen, is different from the above-mentioned panels. The Insert bar contains far more tabs than other panels, and has several options for adding and manipulating objects and functions into a web page. You may find along the way that you want to familiarize yourself with these options, as they allow for a quick and easy way to insert objects into a page.

Common:
The Common tab features some of the most-used functions in Dreamweaver MX 2004.

1. Hyperlink:
   Clicking on this brings up a window that lets you create a link to another web page, file, or location on the same page.
2. E-Mail Link:
   Email links allow visitors to a site send someone an email by clicking on a special link. Using this tool allows to you easily make such a link.
3. Named Anchor:
   An anchor is a special kind of link that takes a user to a different part of the same page. Clicking on the Named Anchor button lets you quickly make a link for an anchor.
4. Insert Table:
   When you click on this tool, a window pops up asking you to input information to create a table. When you are done, click on “OK” and the table will appear in your web page.
5. Image:
   You can easily place an image in a web page by clicking on this button. When you do, a new window will pop up. From here, you can browser your computer to find the image you wish to include in your web page. Remember, if you plan on putting your page on the Internet, you will need to put all images used in your web page on the Internet as well. This will be discussed further in the “Publishing” section.
6. Media:
   Allows you to insert special media into a web page, such as a Flash movie (or other Flash items, such as buttons), or special applets / plug-ins.
7. Date:
   Inserts the current date at the cursor point; a new window will appear asking which format you wish the date to appear in.
8. Comment:
   Allows you to enter a comment into the source code. This is useful when you later come back to designs and need refreshing as to why things have been laid out in a certain way.
9. Templates:
   Allows you to create a new template, or apply a pre-existing one to your current document. Templates allow you to control and keep consistent the over-all design of your site.
10. Tag Chooser:
    Tag Chooser will bring up a new window allowing you to select code from a large quantity of pre-written items, divided up into appropriate categories (such as page composition and formatting).
