Placing Insertion Point for Images

Question

Virtually all of the instructions for inserting images in
Dreamweaver tell you to first "place the insertion point in the
document where you want the image." How can I (Move) that is place
the cursor at a particular place on the blank page without using
carriage returns, tabs, etc that add unnecessary code.
Thank you for your assistance on what must be a trivial
matter for those more experienced than I

Answer 1

You cannot. You must build an HTML infrastructure that allows
your
insertion point to be placed where you want it on the page.
For example, if you want an image to be placed 100px down
from the top of
the page, and 100px to the right of the left margin, you
could do that by
building an HTML table with a cell that falls at exactly that
point. Then
you would just drop the image into that cell.
See - web authoring is not like using Microsoft Word, or a DT
Publishing
application. Unfortunately, you need to have some
understanding of the
underlying HTML/CSS to begin to work efficiently.
