Preview tab
The Preview tab in Page view displays your Web page similar to the way it will look
in a browser (compared to how it is displayed in the Normal tab). Elements such as
comment text and shared border dividers don’t display in the Preview tab. However,
you cannot edit in Preview tab. Figure 1-12 shows a Web page displayed in the
Preview tab of Page view.
Figure 1-12: The Preview tab approximates the appearance of a Web
page in a Web browser.
Previewing in a browser
The Preview tab roughly approximates how a Web page looks in a browser, but
nothing can substitute for actually testing your pages by looking at them in Internet
Explorer and/or Netscape Navigator.
Different browsers interpret Web attributes differently. In addition, different screen
resolutions display Web pages differently. You should periodically preview your
Web pages in both Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer. Keeping an older ver-
sion of one of these browsers installed on your computer so that you can also see
how your Web pages look in those browsers may be a good strategy.
