About the GoLive CSS workflow


    Use the CSS Editor to create CSS styles in a style sheet and to add external style sheets. Use the CSS palette or the inline CSS Style preview (an inline version of the CSS palette's Style Apply tab) to apply class styles to content in a Web page.

    The typical workflow for building cascading style sheets in GoLive includes the following:

  1. Use the CSS Editor to add CSS styles to a Web page, link to an external style sheet or create a new external style sheet. You can also import CSS styles from a different Web page or from an external style sheet.

  3. Use the CSS Editor to define the properties of each CSS style. Properties that you can define include font sets, text size, border attributes, list attributes, background attributes, and absolute position coordinates.

  5. If you're using an external style sheet, you can link to it from an individual Web page with the CSS Editor, or link multiple Web pages to it with the CSS palette and the site window.
  6. Apply class styles to text and other items. You must manually apply class styles to selections in your page with the CSS palette. Element styles, in contrast, are automatically applied to HTML tags in your Web page.
  7. You can continue to modify any style's properties with the CSS Editor. All content that uses the style will automatically reflect the changes.
  8. Apply class styles to selections with the CSS palette.
