Maybe Skate Team 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 The last part of the tutorial with the Dreamweaver helped me a lot because I just got it and I am really lost in it. I have to spend some time looking over the features and reading the help file. Anyways this tutorial is great, and it is pretty easy to fallow. Awesome job!

miCRoSCoPiC^eaRthLinG 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2005 great tutorial finaldesign - but it'd be better if you didn't post the whole instruction set as ONE GIANT Image... this post wouldn't have fetched you more than 1 credit - so this goes out as an advice to all of you.If you're posting a graphics intensive tutorial, make sure you break up your graphics into small blocks - preferably according to each step, and put in a couple of lines of text explanation and then the graphics... step-by-step.. One Giant Image like this wouldn't fetch you even 1 credit... You only get credit if images are used alternately in conjunction with text.So there... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Anyway, I'll try to post more smaller images in tutorials later, thanks for the tip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
m3ch4 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2005 Newb question here again '''But for your table as image that you've created (specifically cells 4, 5 and 6) will text (that you add later within the html code) appear on top of that image? as in...the image is the table's "back drop"?Also, if the above question proves true, what happens if the amount of text entered with the html becomes too great for the cell? does the cell expand or remain constant? does that screw up the image if it expands? (I'm going to guess that, because you have specific sizes, the cell does nto expand?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jet 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2005 There are a few ways you can make text appear on top of the images. The easiest and probably most common way is to use a div with absolute positioning, if you're not sure what i'm talking about, go to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/. The other easy way is to make the bit you want your text on one slice, and then in the table instead of <td><img src .. ..></td> put in <td background=... ..>insert the text you want on the image here</td>. About slicing, there's another way I use which I find easier. I don't like dragging the shapes straight out with the slice tool, because more often than not I get the size wrong. In Photoshop, when your rulers (View => Rulers [i think]) are on, click on the ruler and drag down to create a guide. When you have guides everywhere you want a slice, click the export to Imageready button. In Imageready, there's a menu item called Slices, and under that you should find something called Create Slices From Guides. Of course, you'll probably end with slices you don't want, so with the slice select tool select the ones you want to be one slice only (shift + click), then right click and choose "Combine Slices".

iGuest 3 Report post Posted December 12, 2007 Great tutorial. I tried it and when I link it to other html page, it creates white thin lines between the slices. Is there anyway to avoid this or get rid of it? thanks.-prana Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
