If you've ever wished that you could edit a page in one mode and see it update in real-time in another window, then the Live Rendering window is the answer. To open the Live Rendering window, choose File > Preview in > Live Rendering or press Command-T on Mac (Control-T on Windows). The page you have open will load into the Live Rendering window.
Like Preview mode, the Live Rendering window is an embedded Web browser, so you can use it to test page links, navigation, and JavaScript. There are four commands in the Live Rendering window flyout menu which execute the following tasks:
You can have more than one Live Rendering window open at a time, so if you've got multiple monitors, knock yourself out. Another sweet feature is that by using the Fetch URL tool from the upper left of the Live Rendering window, you can quickly bind the window to a page in the Files tab of the Site window. A new addition to the Live Rendering window is the Small Screen Rendering (SSR) button. Clicking it renders your page as it would look on a small screen such as those used for mobile devices. To exit SSR, click the button again. You can also open SSR from the menu by choosing File > Preview in > Small Screen Rendering (Figure 93). Figure 93. Shown here are the Live Rendering window and the Small Screen Rendering window (front), both with the same page loaded.
