You can select the HTML output method that determines the type of HTML code NetObjects Fusion 12 produces for the current Multi Layout Region. This HTML method is independent of the method used to publish the parent container.
For example, if a Multi Layout Region is placed in a Layout area, you can set the Multi Layout Region to a different HTML output method than the one used for the Layout area. When you publish, the Layout area is published using its setting, and the Multi Layout Region is published using its setting. All Layout Regions contained in a Multi Layout Region will inherit its HTML output method, but you can also set a different HTML output method for each Layout Region that is contained in a Multi Layout Region.
In Page view, click the Multi Layout Region. The Multi Layout Properties panel appears.
In the HTML output section of the General tab, select the HTML output method you want from the drop-down list.
Site Setting generates the Multi Layout Region using the output method specified for the entire site. To change this setting, go to the Tools menu, choose Site Settings, and change the Browser compatibility setting.
Parent Setting generates the Multi Layout Region using the output method specified for the object that contains it. For example, if a Layout is set to HTML 4.01 with Tables, that is the parent setting for a Multi Layout Region contained in that Layout.
HTML 4.01 with Tables uses nested HTML tables to achieve the highest level of layout accuracy across browsers. If you select this option, you can set the table formatting preference. See Publishing with HTML 4.01 with Tables.
XHTML 1.0 uses XHTML, JavaScript, and CSS to generate less code and achieve a cleaner separation of content and styling. This method of generation solves some issues that your site visitors may encounter when displaying the pages that contain the Accordion or TogglePane components.
HTML 4.01 uses cascading style sheet positioning and layers to optimize your site. See Publishing with HTML 4.01.
The method you select for the Layout affects the entire page, including the MasterBorder and frames you assign to that MasterBorder.
