About layout grids

GoLive layout grids take the pain out of creating CSS-based and table-based designs for your web pages. Instead of

hand coding CSS or setting up table cells, you can add a single layout grid to the page, draw text boxes or layers, or

dragobjectsanywhereonthegrid.GoLiveadjuststhepropertiesofthelayoutgridasyouaddcontentandreposition

it. Using layout grids, you can position multiple objects on your page with 1-pixel accuracy.

Layout grids and objects on the grid remain fixed in the browser window and don’t change to accommodate the

viewer’s screen settings. If you want your page or individual objects to automatically reflect adjustments to the

viewer’s screen settings, use CSS layout objects from the CSS tab of the objects toolbox.

By default, layout grids are CSS-based, but you can convert them to a table-based design.

You can add tables to a layout grid (for example, to add a chart with multiple columns and rows).
