Intermediate Level Course
Text Format
The text styles, bold, italics, underlining, superscript and subscript, can be easily added to selected text.
Text structure can be defined, and GoLive writes the applicable code.
Font Sets
Font sets are groups of similar font faces that enable the browser to display an alternative if the font specified is not resident on the user’s system.
Spacers
Spacers can be used to indent text, as well as separate other elements on the page.
The spacer can be:HorizontalVerticalBlock
Absolute and Relative Sizes
Absolute:specifies a number on a scale range of 1 to 7.
Relative: the browser uses a number size that is less, or more than, the default size. This scale ranges from –7 to +7.
Indents, Lists, and Scrolling Text
Paragraph format styles:
Scrolling or Marquee text is a message that
scrolls across the page like a “banner”.
• Indent or List Level• Numbered List• Unnumbered List • Definition
Smart Objects
Smart Objects enable the synchronization ofimported image files in GoLive with the source files.
Drag and drop files from Photoshop, Illustrator, and LiveMotion right into the GoLive page.
Tracing Images
A Tracing Image is a “template” of the Web page design that has been prepared in Photoshop or Illustrator.
The “template” is imported into GoLive, and used to position the actual elements and objects on the page.
Image Color
The Web-safe color palette lists the corresponding numerical (hex) label that is recognized by Web browsers.
Color appears differently on different monitors, as well as on different operating systems.
Image Maps
Image maps enable an image, or an area of an image, to act as a link to an URL – another page in the site, or another Web site.
Rollovers
With a rollover, the image changes when the mouse is moved over it, and it can change again when clicked.
Table Structure
Tables form the actual structure of the <body> of the Web page. GoLive writes the necessary code as the page is being created.
Tables can be added to the page as visual elements.
Visible tables consist of
rows and columns.
Editing Tables
• Rows and Columns• Width and Height• Borders• Color• Cell Padding• Cell Spacing• Alignment• Caption• Background Image• Row and Column Span• Header Style• No Text Wrap
Table attributes are:
Table Styles
A table style adds color to the table.
GoLive offers a number of built-in styles.
You can create your own custom style.
Import Table Data
Tabular data can be imported from a spreadsheet, word processor, or database.
The original file must first be saved as a text-only delimited file.
Table to Layout Grid
Tables can be converted to the Layout Grid.
The table is removed, and the cell data is converted into individual layout text boxes placed on the Layout Grid.
Create a Floating Box
Floating boxes can:Be placed in layers.Contain HTML elements, images, text, script.Made visible and invisible.Used to create “animations” on a Web-page.
Floating boxes are used in conjunction with the Layout Grid.
Image and Text Content
Drag an image from the Site Images folder into the floating box.
Position the cursor inside the box, and type the required text.
Visibility
When multiple layers are stacked on top of each other, top layers can be turned “off” to facilitate working on the lower layers.
Ensure the color of text in a layer will be visible when it is positioned on top of an image layer.
Import Layered Images
Layered images can also be imported directly from Photoshop.
The imported layered file is converted into a Web-safe format, and each layer appears in a separate floating box.
Form Objects
Forms are used to obtain information from the user, which is sent to the Web site administrator via email.
Form Layout
A form can include :
A table inserted into a form helps to control the layout of the form’s elements.

Frames and Framesets
Framesets are a collection of individual frames.
Each frame in the frameset links to a separate HTML document.
