Chapter THREE. Working with Pages

We remember the early days of the Web when we had to walk to work in four feet of snow in our bare feet, uphill both ways, and type all of our source code by hand. Back then, the two biggest competitors in the Web-design software market were SimpleText and Notepad. Fortunately, Web-design software such as GoLive has come a long way and makes the process of building interactive, visually compelling Web sites easier than ever.

You can still write code in GoLive, but it's usually much more efficient to work in GoLive's Layout Editor and let the software write all the HTML for you. GoLive offers six different ways to edit and preview your Web pages, but many users will spend most of their time in the Layout Editor. The accurate layout of this visual authoring environment makes it simple for anybody to build Web sites with the ease of drag and drop.

Because you, too, will spend most of your time in the Layout Editor, we decided to make this the longest chapter in the book. We start by covering some basic layout tools such as zooming, panning, guides, and rulers. We also cover different layout techniques including layout grids, tables, and CSS layers. Toward the end, we cover the use of color in GoLive and sharing color swatches and settings between all the Creative Suite applications.
