About components

You use Adobe GoLive components to reference other HTML pages and embed them in your page, complete with text, images, and other visual content. When you embed an HTML page as a dynamic component instead of writing the HTML code in your pages, you can change any element within the component simply by double-clicking the component to open the source file and then editing the element. When you save the source file, Adobe GoLive automatically updates all pages that contain the component.

Adobe GoLive encloses the embedded HTML page in a custom tag that the browser ignores (although its content is understood and interpreted correctly), and marks it as dynamic page content that needs to be updated each time the source file changes.

Note: Components are updated only while you work on your local hard disk. Pages on the Web server are not updated by just uploading the source file. You also need to upload all pages that contain the component to update your site after changing a source file.

Components can be nested within other components, and include one or more actions.
