What’s New in GoLive CS

Work with industry-leading Adobe technology

GoLive CS offers unparalleled integration with Adobe products like Adobe Acrobat, Adobe

Photoshop, Adobe InDesign, and Adobe Version Cue.

Adobe PDF Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) is a worldwide standard for secure

and reliable transmission of electronic documents over the Web. GoLive CS offers more

comprehensive PDF support than any other Web-publishing application. You can preview

Web pages in PDF and export them with all formatting, links, and graphics intact. You can

also open existing PDF documents to create and edit PDF links and bookmarks. (See

“About working with PDF documents” on page 346.)

Smart Objects With Smart Objects, you can work with native Photoshop, Illustrator, and

Acrobat ﬁles directly in GoLive. When you modify a Smart Object, GoLive automatically

reoptimizes it for the Web, helping you work more efﬁciently. New Smart Object features

include cropping, site-wide updating of Smart Objects edited outside of GoLive, and full

support for ImageReady-generated JavaScript code. (See

“Working with Smart Objects”

on page 262.)

Adobe InDesign You can quickly match related print and Web designs by using

InDesign’s Package for GoLive feature. These packages let you easily transfer text, graphics,

and multimedia assets from InDesign to GoLive. If a print design changes in the future,

simply re-create the package in InDesign to update related assets throughout a GoLive

site. (See

“Adding InDesign content” on page 286.)

Adobe Version Cue Use Adobe Version Cue features in Adobe GoLive CS to increase your

productivity when you work alone or collaborate with others. You can integrate GoLive

design management into your existing workﬂows within and across the Adobe Creative

Suite applications. The Version Cue features in GoLive CS are compatible only with the

Adobe Version Cue Workspace, available only as part of the Adobe Creative Suite. (See

“Working with Adobe Version Cue managed projects” on page 45.)

Adobe color engine GoLive CS shares the color engine used by Photoshop, Illustrator,

InDesign, and Acrobat. This shared color engine lets you use one set of controls to achieve

consistent color across Adobe applications and a variety of output devices. (See

“Managing color in images” on page 248.)

Enhance your productivity

With a familiar Adobe interface and many other productivity enhancements, GoLive CS

streamlines common Web workﬂows.

Adobe interface GoLive CS includes a familiar interface from Adobe products like

Photoshop and Illustrator. You can zoom in to reﬁne page layouts with pixel-level

precision, use a vertical Objects palette, and collapse palettes to free up screen space for

large, detailed Web designs.

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 9

Adobe GoLive CS Help What’s New in GoLive CS

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 9

Streamlined color workﬂow With the Color and Swatches palettes, you can apply color

with a single click, store commonly used colors, and search for colors by name or

hexadecimal value. (See

“Using color” on page 67.)

Pre-built design elements To help you quickly complete common Web design tasks,

GoLive CS includes a large number of professionally-made design elements in a new

Library palette. Choose from pre-built Web pages, Section 508-compliant designs, CSS

styles, and JavaScript snippets for cookies, event handlers, and more.

Co-author sections In GoLive sites, Web professionals can now create special co-author

sections, which let editors and writers update content by using a simple form-like

interface. These template-driven sections ensure a consistent look and feel throughout a

site, while letting co-authors with little knowledge of Web design create sophisticated

Web content. (See

“Creating co-author sections” on page 339.)

Queries Expanded search functionality lets you build and save complex queries. You can

search for items ranging from HTML elements to site assets and errors. To perform

complex searches, deﬁne nested queries; for simple searches, use predeﬁned queries. (See

“Generating queries” on page 129.)

Collections To speed up common ﬁle management tasks, you can create site-speciﬁc

collections, which let you quickly select groups of related ﬁles. You can attach queries to

collections, ensuring that they include all ﬁles that meet speciﬁc search criteria. (See

“Using collections” on page 319.)

Use powerful tools that support industry standards

GoLive CS ensures that your sites meet the latest Web standards.

Enhanced CSS workﬂow In the new CSS editor, you can visually preview styles as you

change style properties, drag and re-sort style elements, and view related CSS code. You

can also quickly apply styles in the Layout Editor by using new CSS commands in the Type

menu. (See

“About the GoLive CSS workﬂow” on page 213.)

JavaScript rollovers The new Rollovers & Actions palette lets you create sophisticated

rollovers with ease. You can combine self and remote rollovers and specify trigger objects

ranging from images to text and table cells. GoLive CS also fully supports ImageReady

JavaScript code. (See

“Creating rollovers” on page 240.)

Revised source code editor GoLive CS includes a completely revised source code editor,

which lets you easily select entire HTML elements, complete code automatically, and

optimize hand-coded HTML. Customizable syntax coloring helps you easily identify

different code types. And new code compare and query features ensure consistent HTML

throughout a site. (See

“Using the GoLive source code editors” on page 375.)

Publish servers With publish servers, you can maintain a site in one, central location, but

publish to multiple servers using different transfer protocols such as WebDAV or FTP. The

streamlined publish server interface lets you quickly conﬁgure and access servers, so you

can focus more energy on Web design. (See

“About GoLive publish server clients” on

page 325.)

Updated QuickTime and SMIL features Among Web design applications, only GoLive

CS provides a full authoring environment for QuickTime movies. You can create interactive

content with wired actions and integrate movies with XML databases. If you own

QuickTime Pro, you can also produce 3GPP-compatible ﬁles for wireless devices. GoLive CS

Tutorials

About these tutorials

The following tutorials provide a quick tour of the basic Adobe GoLive CS features. Before

you get started, be sure you are familiar with the basic concepts of GoLive. (See

“GoLive

basics” on page 28.)

As you work through these tutorials, you may have new ideas and questions. To assist you

with learning GoLive, Adobe provides a variety of resources. For more information, see

“Getting help” on page 4.

For more advanced GoLive tutorials, visit the Adobe Web site at www.adobe.com/

products/tips/golive.html.

Create and structure a site

Adobe GoLive CS makes it easy to create complex, multipage Web sites using the site

wizard and the site diagram feature. The site wizard walks you through the process of

setting up a new Web site, and the site diagram feature lets you quickly prototype the site,

and then convert the prototype to actual pages.

In the steps that follow, you’ll use the site wizard, diagramming tools, and the site window

to create a new Web site with multiple pages and folders.

1. Create a new blank site.

Start GoLive and click the New Site button to open the Site Wizard. Select the Single User

option, and click Next. In the next screen, select Blank Site, and then click Next. Enter a

name for your site in the Site Name text box, click Next, and then specify a location on your

hard drive to store the site ﬁles and folders. Click Finish to create the new site. That’s all

there is to creating a new site.

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 12

Adobe GoLive CS Help Tutorials

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 12

GoLive creates a project folder on your hard drive. This folder contains the site’s project

ﬁle, a web-content folder, which contains an index.html ﬁle, a web-data folder, and a web-

settings folder, which GoLive uses to manage the site and its assets.

2. Create a diagram and add a page.

With the site window active, choose Diagram > New Diagram to create a new diagram.

Drag a Page icon from the Diagram set of the Objects palette to the design view to add a

new page named

untitled.html. Click the page’s name, and then enter a new name, such as

Products.html.

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 13

Adobe GoLive CS Help Tutorials

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 13

3. Add new child pages.

With the page in the design view selected, choose Diagram > New Pages. In the New

Pages dialog box, enter the number of new child pages to create a base ﬁlename for the

new pages. For example, enter

4 to create four pages, and then enter Models in the

Filenames text box to add pages named

Models.html, Models1.html, Models2.html, and

Models3.html. Click Create.

4. Anchor the diagram to a page in the site.

Drag the index.html page from the Files tab of the site window to the design view.

Index.html becomes an anchor page in the diagram and is indicated by an anchor symbol.

Anchoring the diagram speciﬁes the diagram’s location in the site’s hierarchy.

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 14

Adobe GoLive CS Help Tutorials

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 14

5. Submit the diagram to the site.

Choose Diagram > Staging > Submit All. GoLive converts the diagram’s pages to HTML

pages in the site. In the Files tab of the site window, you can see the new pages in the site.

6. Structure the site.

Organize your pages and images in separate folders so that you can keep track of ﬁles and

update them easily. With the Files tab of the site window active, click the Create New

Folder button

in the toolbar. Rename the new untitled folder Pages. You’ll place all your

HTML pages in this folder. Click in an empty area of the Files tab and click the Create New

Folder button. Rename the new folder Images. You’ll place all your images in this folder.

Select Products.html and its child pages (models.html, models1.html, etc.), and drag them

into the Pages folder (Shift-click to select multiple ﬁles).

If your site is very complex, you may want to create subfolders within these folders to

easily organize your ﬁles. Whenever you move, rename, or add pages, or create a new

folder in the Files tab, GoLive automatically makes the change in the site’s web-content

folder.

Design and lay out a Web page

Adobe GoLive makes it easy to design and lay out visually compelling Web pages. You can

create simple or complex professional-quality Web pages without writing any code.

Once you’ve designed your page, you can save it as a page template. New pages created

from a page template remain linked to the template—when you change the template,

GoLive automatically updates the pages without affecting any content that has been

added to them.

1. Set page dimensions and add a layout grid.

Open a site, and choose File > New Page. (For information about creating a site, see

“Creating a site” on page 46.) Choose 720 from the menu at the bottom right of the

document window to display the current page at 720 pixels wide, the standard width for

17-inch monitors. Drag the Layout Grid icon

from the Basic set of the Objects palette to

the page. Type 720 in the Width text box in the Layout Grid Inspector to match the layout

grid to the width of the page.

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 16

Adobe GoLive CS Help Tutorials

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 16

Setting a default page size helps prevent you from adding objects, such as large graphic

banners, that are too wide to display on a standard page. Layout grids let you create table-

based designs without having to deal with rows, cells, and columns. Layout grids automat

-

ically lengthen to accommodate the objects you place on them.

2. Add a background color to the page.

Click the Show Page Properties icon in the upper right corner of the document window. In

the Page tab of the Page Inspector, select Background Color and click the lower right

corner of the color ﬁeld. Choose a background color for your page from the list of

swatches that appear.

You can apply a color or an image to the background of your page to visually enhance it.

Although colors that you choose for page backgrounds override the default colors used

by most Web browsers, viewers can change browser preferences to override your page

background colors. You can also select an image for the page background, but keep in

mind that Web browsers treat the image as a tile and repeat it to cover the entire page.

Adobe GoLive CS Help Tutorials

3. Add a text box and format the text.

Drag the Layout Text Box icon from the Basic set of the Objects palette to the layout

grid. Move the pointer over the edge of the text box until it changes into a double arrow,

and then drag until the box is the size you want. Click inside the layout text box to create

an insertion point and type some placeholder text. On the toolbar, click the Align Center

button, and then choose Header2 from the Set Paragraph Format menu.

In GoLive, you can format text in a variety of ways: use paragraph styles, such as Header 1

and Header 2, to format paragraphs; use physical styles, such as Bold and Italic, to

emphasize text; and use structural styles, such as Emphasis and Strong, to both emphasize

and classify text. (For more information about formatting text, see

“About formatting

HTML text” on page 185.) You can also apply fonts, type sizes, and color to text using CSS

(cascading style sheets), which contain a set of stylistic rules that describe how HTML

documents should appear to viewers. If you need to update a CSS style, you simply edit

the style rule and all content that hosts the style will automatically reﬂect the new

properties. For more information about CSS, see

“About cascading style sheets” on

page 212.

4. Add a pre-optimized image.

Drag an Image icon from the Basic set of the Objects palette to the layout grid. Select

the image object in the document window, and drag the pick whip in the Basic tab of

the Image Inspector to a GIF or JPEG ﬁle in the site window. You’ve successfully made the

connection when the line from the pick whip connects with and highlights the ﬁlename in

the site window. Don’t worry if you don’t have a GIF or JPEG ﬁle in your site: you can link an

image ﬁle to the image object in the document window at any time.

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 18

Adobe GoLive CS Help Tutorials

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 18

The standard image formats for the Web are GIF and JPEG. GIF images are typically used

for line art, and JPEGs are typically used for photographs and other images with more than

256 colors. For information about choosing an image format, see

“Choosing a format for

optimized images” on page 237,

5. Save the ﬁle as a page template.

Choose Save As > Save As Template from the document window menu in the upper right

corner of the document window. Type a name for the template in the Save As dialog box,

and click Save.

Page templates are predesigned page layouts that you can use as the basis for new pages.

When you update a template, you automatically update all pages based on that template.

For more information about templates, see

“Using page templates” on page 305.

Create and manage links

In this tutorial you’ll create navigational links from which viewers can jump to other pages

in your site (internal links) or to other sites on the Web (external links).

Adobe GoLive’s powerful site management features make it easy to maintain links

between pages, and because GoLive collects and updates URLs in the External tab of the

site window, you can quickly create links across the Web.

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 19

Adobe GoLive CS Help Tutorials

Using Help | Contents | Index Back 19

1. Create an internal link.

Open a GoLive site, and then open the page that you want to serve as the source of the

link. Select a short block of text and click the Create Link button

in the toolbar. In the

Text Inspector, drag the pick whip to the destination page in the site window.

You can also create internal links by using the Inspector’s Browse button to locate a

page, or by typing the relative path to the page in the Inspector’s URL text box. It’s best,

however, to use the pick whip when creating links to avoid mistakenly linking to pages

outside of the site’s web-content folder.

2. Test the link.

Click the Preview in Browser button in the toolbar to preview the page containing the

link in your Web browser. Click the link and make sure that the destination page appears in

the browser window.

3. Update the internal link.

With the Files tab of the site window active, click the Create New Folder button in the

toolbar. Drag the link’s destination page into the new folder. GoLive displays the Move

Files dialog box, which lists the page that serves as the source of the link, and prompts you

to update the ﬁle. Click OK.

window, not directly in your site’s web-content folder in Windows Explorer or the Mac OS

Finder.

4. Add a URL to the External tab of the site window.

Drag the URL icon from the Site set of the Objects palette to the External tab of the site

window. Rename the untitled URL

Adobe URL. Type http://www.adobe.com in the URL

text box of the Reference Inspector.

The External tab of the site window contains URLs and e-mail addresses. Storing a URL in

the External tab is useful when you want to use the URL on more than one page in your

site. If you later need to update a URL in the External tab, GoLive automatically updates it

wherever it appears in the site.
