Previewing the Page
Composer has three ways to view your page.
- Edit mode. When you are in Composer, you are editing the page.
- From the menu, choose View, Page Source, to view the HTML of your page. See all the hard work you did! Aren't you glad Composer is writing the HTML for you?! I use this feature only when something is wrong and I'm trying to figure it out. Generally you won't need this. If the feature does not work, choose Edit, Preferences, and:
- Windows: change the HTML Source editor to be c:\windows\notepad.exe
- Mac: change the HTML Source editor to be Macintosh HD: Applications:SimpleText
The Preview button saves your page and loads it into Netscape. It is helpful to preview your page in both Netscape and Internet Explorer on both MACs and PCs. Your page will probably look different on different computers and with different browsers. Note: Sometimes to see the changes you need to use the Reload/Refresh button in your browser. If you think it didn't make your changes, try Reload first.
