Setting view options for page layout


    Using the View palette, you can set options that control the display of images, colors, fonts, and certain screen elements on your page (such as table borders, layer markers, line break symbols, and the lines in layout grids). You can choose a profile for a specific Web browser (for example, choose Opera 7 Mac if you plan to display your pages in Opera for Mac OS), and GoLive makes the appropriate adjustments to the page layout as it would appear in that browser. You can also select style sheets to apply to the page. The options that you select are only applied to the open page.

To set view options for the page in the View palette:

  1. Select the Layout tab in the document window.
  2. In the View palette, do any of the following:
    • Choose an option from the Basic Profile menu to view a simulated preview of your page in a Web browser for Windows or Mac OS. Profiles you've used recently appear beneath the GoLive profiles at the top of the menu.
    • Choose options from the User Profiles menu to set a default screen size or to show or hide color, fonts and text, or images. Choose a user style sheet to apply it to the page, or choose a target media option to display the page as it would appear in that media.
    • Choose a style sheet from the Alternate CSS menu to apply it to the page.
    • Select Negative Margins to preview how elements with negative margin values grow in to adjacent elements.
    • Select Hidden Elements to display or hide elements that are set by the CSS display property.
    • Choose Show All Items, Default Set, or a custom set from the Visibility menu to display all or some items that don't show in the browser window. The option or set that you choose determines which items are displayed or hidden in GoLive when you choose View > Hide Invisible Items or View > Show Invisible Items. (See Creating custom sets of visible screen elements.)
    • Choose Visited Links, Active, Hover, or Focus to preview the colors that have been chosen for each link state. (See Setting the default color for text or links in a page and Creating HTML element styles.)
