The CSS tab

The CSS tab () of Web Settings contains default style sheets for all major browsers on Windows and Mac OS. These are primarily used for previewing pages with the Layout View Controller. (See Previewing with cascading style sheets.) They let you simulate how fonts and other design elements display on Windows and Mac OS. They do not affect how Adobe GoLive writes HTML code, or what the end user sees when visiting your site. The default style sheets contain styles with tag selectors because styles need to be applied automatically to preview.

Note: Do not confuse these default style sheets with the style sheets that you create and reference using the <style> tag in your HTML files.

Further options include a check box for using style sheets, a default unit menu, and options for controlling how the Source mode formats style sheets.

You can also duplicate an item and edit it to create a user-defined style sheet in the Root Style Sheet Inspector.

To make general settings for cascading style sheets:

1 Deselect Use Style Sheets to turn style sheets off throughout the application. This action is optional.

2 Select an option from the Default Unit pop-up menu to determine what unit the Root Style Sheet Inspector uses.

3 Select an option from the Output pop-up menu to determine how style sheets are formatted in the source code. The options in this menu vary the horizontal and vertical spacing between selectors and rules.
