mentioned in Step 4 of “How Image Selection Works” on page 392. This table
summarizes the examples.

restricts image?
In this example, the user inserts an image from a remote directory. The image is
not uploaded to a database, and no restrictions are imposed on the image.
To incorporate this version of image selection, follow these steps.
1. Within the ewebeditpro5 directory, create an .htm file, for example,
imageselection.htm.
2. Within the imageselection.htm file’s head tags, include the ewbeditpro.js file.
(For more information, see “Customizing the Alignment Field of the Picture
Properties Dialog” on page 394.)
3. Still within the document’s head tags, create an insertfile function that calls
the standard insertMediaFile function. (See “Method: insertMediaFile”
on page 74.)
