A simple insert object example

This example adds an object to the Insert bar so users can add a line through (strike through) selected text by clicking a button. This object is useful if a user needs to make editorial comments in a document.

Because this example performs text manipulation, you may want to explore some of the objects from the Text pop-up menu in the HTML category on the Insert bar as models. For example, look at the Bold, Emphasis, and Heading object files to see similar functionality, where Adobe Dreamweaver wraps a tag around selected text.

You will perform the following steps to create the strike-through insert object:

• Creating the HTML file
• Adding the JavaScript functions
• Creating the image
• Editing the insertbar.xml file
• Adding a dialog box
• Building an Insert bar pop-up menu
