Overriding default syntax error checking

For any tag within Web Settings, the Version tab of the Web Settings Element Inspector lets you specify a browser or HTML version and set custom attributes. Web Settings describes the behavior of browsers using defined sets of HTML tags, attributes, and enumerations. When you create a custom tag, you can specify whether the syntax checker will flag it as an error.

The browser sets you create in the Browser Sets Source Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences) let you select multiple browser descriptions. When you work in the Source tab, every tag is verified against the tags defined in Web Settings under the selected browsers.

The browser compatibility settings you make for a particular tag determine what happens when you choose an option from the browser compatibility menu in the Source Editor and launch syntax checking (see Checking syntax). This checking flags syntax errors, but in Outline view your choices are directly determined by the definitions in Web Settings.

Note: The Browser Sets Source preferences and settings in the Version tab of the Web Settings Element Inspector do not affect how Adobe GoLive writes HTML code, nor do they affect how your pages are displayed by the selected browsers.

To edit syntax checking behavior:

1 Locate the browser or HTML version in the Version tab of the Inspector, and click the option next to it.

2 Select Can Have Any Attribute to allow attributes other than those Web Settings specifies.
