How to Use the Live Rendering Window and SSR in Adobe GoLive CS2
Video Transcript
Okay, so we are done with the iFrame page so we can just close that window out and I am going to say do not save again. And let us go back to the first page that we started, the one called Start here. And open that up because I have one final thing I want to show you and that is something called the Live Rendering Window.
The Live Rendering Window is not actually one of the view modes that are in the buttons across the top here. It is at its own window but it is really neat and I think you should know about it. So we are going to access it by choosing from the file menu. Pull down all the way to the bottom to preview in and across to Live Rendering.

What the Live Rendering Window is, is a place that you can see your updates that you are making in the layout mode at the same time that you are making them. So you could—if you had enough screen real estate or if you had a big enough screen or if you are working with two monitors, for example, you can keep the Live Rendering Window open on one side and as you are making changes to your page, you can see those changes live in the Live Rendering Window.
Additionally, it works like a real browser. So for example, I can take out this address and type in a full URL like the http://www.adobe.com and press enter and it will load in the Adobe.com webpage right in this Live Rendering Window.
Now, the significance of this is that you can actually upload things to your site and preview them here right in this Live Rendering Window if you need to without having to go back and forth to the browser. Now there is one more button that is interesting and that is this SSR button. This stands for Small Screen Rendering. And what this does, is that reformulates the page to show you what it would like on a small screen for a hand held device or a mobile device. So if you click that button, and we get a view of how this page is going to reflow in a small screen device.
