GoLive source code editors

When youworkinthe Layout Editor,GoLivewritesall of thesourcecodefor you. If youwanttoworkdirectlywith

HTML or JavaScript source code, you can use several different source code editors. Changes you make in the

document window are immediately reflected in all source code editors, and vice versa.

Source Code Editor Lets you edit your document’s HTML source code in text format, perform a syntax check, and

visually distinguish elements, attributes and content by color. You can type or paste text from another document or

application, and make and save changes.

Source code panel and Source Code palette Let you edit source code while in the Layout Editor, the Frame Editor,

or the Outline Editor without switching tabs in the document window. The source code editing features function just

like the Source Code Editor features.

Visual Tag Editor Lets youinsertHTMLcodeormakechanges to existing code whileworking in theLayout Editor.

Markup palette Lets you insert common HTML or JavaScript attributes while working in the Layout Editor, Frame

Editor, or the Outline Editor (for more information, see “To use the Markup palette” on page 580).

Outline Editor Presents the HTML code of your documents in a hierarchical, organized way, and provides a menu

of attributes for every element in the document.

JavaScript Editor Lets you build scripts in the application, embed them in your document, and test them immedi-

ately by launching the targeted browser.

GoLive includes several scripting samples in the New dialog box (File > New). You can choose from a variety of

script-based pages and scripting samples, including ASP, JSP, or PHP pages and QuickTime, CGI, Java, and Perl

scripts.
