About Web Settings
Web Settings is a basic building block of Adobe GoLive that helps maintain the integrity of your HTML code. It comes with a complete inventory of HTML tags, special character codes, and browser-specific style sheets that ensure correct usage within any file written and read by the application. Web Settings also serves as a reference manual, assisting Web authors in choosing the proper tags and attributes for the content of their pages. Tags and attributes can be inserted by dragging from Web Settings to the Source Editor tab.
You can edit several tabs of Web Settings to accommodate future tags as they emerge. For a discussion of the WebObjects tab, see the online manual Using WebObjects. You'll find it on the application CD.
Note: Do not edit Web Settings unless you are an expert in HTML. Serious damage to your files may result. After installing the application, make a backup copy of the Web Settings folder. As you edit the Web Settings database, make periodic backups.
Adding new tags, attributes, enumerations, or other items to Web Settings doesn't automatically enhance Adobe GoLive functionality or add any icons to the Object palette. To add new tags, you must hand-code them in the Source Editor or select them from the pop-up menus in the Outline Editor. User-added HTML elements are accepted as correct by the Syntax Checker.
If you make an error while editing Web Settings, you can always restore basic Web Settings.
To restore basic Web Settings file:
1 Quit or exit from Adobe GoLive.
2 Open the Modules folder within the Adobe GoLive program folder, and then delete the Web Settings folder.
3 Start Adobe GoLive. A minimal Web Settings folder is created. Any edits you made are discarded.
