An image placeholder is a graphic you use until final artwork is ready to be added to a web page.

You can set the placeholders size and color, as well as provide it with a text label. For detailed information about setting these options, see Completing the Image Placeholder dialog box.

An image placeholder is not a graphic image that displays in a browser. Before you publish your site you should replace any image placeholders youve added with web-friendly graphic files such as GIFs or JPEGs.
If you have Fireworks, you can create a new graphic from the Dreamweaver image placeholder. The new image is set to the same size as the placeholder image. You can edit the image, then replace it in Dreamweaver. For information about creating a replacement image in Fireworks, see Using Fireworks to modify Dreamweaver image placeholders.
The Image Source dialog box appears.
