You can drag text boxes, images, and other objects onto the layout grid to lay out a page precisely without having to work with HTML tables. The layout grid is an HTML table that GoLive formats for you. 4 The standard image formats for the Web are Graphical Interchange Format (GIF) and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG).
