Adding floating boxes to the page


    To add a single floating box to the page, you use the Objects palette or a context menu. When you add a floating box to the page, GoLive inserts a small yellow marker labeled SB, which stays at the original point of insertion after you move the floating box.

    It's important to name your floating boxes. GoLive displays the names of floating boxes in the Floating Boxes palette and in lists to choose from when you're applying actions or animating them. The names are also used for referring to floating boxes in JavaScript. Using unique names makes floating boxes easier to identify than the default names layer1, layer2, layer3, and so on.

    You use the Floating Boxes palette to add and manage multiple floating boxes on the page. To display the palette, choose Window > Floating Boxes.

To add a floating box to the page:

    Do one of the following:

    • Drag the Floating Box icon from the Basic set in the Objects palette into the page. You can also double-click the Floating Box icon to place the floating box at the insertion point in the page. If it's in the middle of text, GoLive inserts a new paragraph to split the text and places the DIV element between them.
    • Click in the page to place the insertion point, and then click the New Floating Box button New button in the Floating Boxes palette.
    • Click in the page and choose Insert Object > Basic > Floating Box from the context menu.

To name a floating box:

  1. Select the floating box in the page or in the list in the Floating Boxes palette.
  2. Enter a new name either in the Floating Boxes palette or in the Name text box in the Floating Box Inspector. (Spaces and names that begin with a number are not allowed.)
