The Insert bar definition file

The Configuration/Objects/insertbar.xml file defines the Insert bar properties. This XML file contains definitions for each individual object, in the order in which the objects appear.

The first time a user starts Adobe Dreamweaver, the Insert bar appears horizontally above the document. After that, its visibility and position are saved in the registry.

Insertbar.xml tag hierarchy

The following example shows the format and hierarchy of nested tags in the insertbar.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?><!DOCTYPE insertbarset SYSTEM "-//Adobe//DWExtension insertbar 5.0"><insertbar xmlns:MMString="http://www.macromedia.com/schemes/data/string/"><category id="DW_Insertbar_Common" MMString:name="insertbar/categorycommon" folder="Common"> <button id="DW_Hyperlink" image="Common\Hyperlink.png"
 MMString:name="insertbar/hyperlink" file="Common\Hyperlink.htm" /> <button id="DW_Email" image="Common\E-Mail Link.png"
 MMString:name="insertbar/email" file="Common\E-Mail Link.htm" /> <separator /> <menubutton id="DW_Images" MMString:name="insertbar/images"
image="Common\Image.png"> <button id="DW_Image" image="Common\Image.png"
 MMString:name="insertbar/image" file="Common\Image.htm" />  ...  </menubutton> <separator /> <button id="DW_TagChooser" MMString:name="insertbar/tagChooser" image="Common\Tag Chooser.gif" command="dw.showTagChooser()" codeOnly="TRUE"/> </category> ... </insertbar>

NOTE

Although the insertbar and category tags use </insertbar> and </category> closing tags to denote the end of their content, the tags button, checkbutton, and separator do not have related closing tags. Instead button, checkbutton, and separator use a slash (/) before the closing bracket to denote the end of their attributes and content.
