Exporting CSS layers
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) give you added control over how web pages are displayed. CSS
layers let you create style sheets or templates that define how different elements, such as headers
and links, should appear. With CSS, you can control the style and layout of multiple web pages at
once. CSS layers can overlap and be stacked on top of one another. In Fireworks, normal HTML
output does not overlap.
To export a graphic in CSS layers:
Choose File > Export.
1
In the Export dialog box, type a filename and choose a destination folder.
2
Choose CSS Layers from the Save As Type pop-up menu.

In the Source pop-up menu, choose one of the following:

Exporting XHTML
In the not-too-distant future, XHTML is expected to replace HTML as the standard for
displaying web content. Not only is XHTML backward-compatible—meaning that most current
web browsers can view it—but it can also be read by any device that displays XML content, such
as PDAs, mobile phones, and other handheld devices.
XHTML is a combination of HTML, the current standard for formatting and displaying web
pages, and XML (Extensible Markup Language). XHTML contains the elements of HTML while
adhering to the more strict syntax rules of XML.
To support this standard, Fireworks allows you to export XHTML.
Note: Fireworks can also import XHTML. For more information, see Fireworks Help.
