Previewing with cascading style sheets

The View Controller contains a selection of options for previewing pages formatted with cascading style sheets. It lets you disable style sheets to view the page as it would appear in a non-CSS browser or choose one of the default style sheets from Web Settings (see The CSS tab) to simulate the appearance of your page in several browsers on the two major platforms.

To use CSS options in the View Controller:

1 In Layout view, choose Window > View Controller to open the View Controller.

2 Select Allow Overlapping Paragraphs to preview how elements with negative margin values grow into adjacent elements.

3 Select the options from the Root CSS menu one by one to simulate the look of your page in Windows-based or Macintosh-based browsers. This previewing feature is based on the default style sheets stored in the CSS tab () of Web Settings (see The CSS tab). Choose Navigator 3 (Mac OS) to see how the document would look in a non-CSS-compliant browser.
