GoLive CS2 takes a novel approach to Web page creation; instead of a blank page that you build from the ground up with tags or tools representing tags, you get palettes of objects, such as tables or text boxes, which you can drag onto the page and arrange. While earlier versions of GoLive used hacks, such as invisible single pixels, to force page layouts, this update follows W3C standards to produce much cleaner source code. And GoLive CS2 provides extensive tools to create dynamic Web sites, whereas programs such as Dreamweaver and BBEdit still focus on single Web pages.
GoLive CS2 expands the package for GoLive features that debuted in its prior incarnation so that you can open an InDesign CS2 project and automatically view it as an XHTML Web site. GoLive CS2's new standards-compliant CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) layout tools include drag-and-drop CSS block objects, so you can quickly assemble designs by dragging CSS elements from a toolbar.
GoLive CS2 also works closely with Illustrator CS2 to create and preview content for mobile phones using the CSS Mobile or SVG Tiny standards. Mobile bloggers can take advantage of new support for Six Apart TypePad and Movable Type authoring.
