Hi,
This is my first post to this Forum..

I have a problem
I designed a full template for my site in Photoshop.
I sliced the .psd image and saved it for the web.
But when I open index.html in Dreamweaver.. it show complete template with images in table.

Now my problem is that.. When i go to write over this sliced images in table .. it refuses..
I also tried it by placing a div layer but.. problem continues..
How can I write text on the template exported as sliced template for web?
I think you understood my problem..
On my site [url]www.deepakg.tk[/url] I did it by using background url method.. but it is complex and confusing..
Please suggest me the solution..

Thank You.

@PeOfEoJun 30.2004 — You can't simply right over the images unless they are behind the text. This can be acheived with some css or setting them all as background images. But you are not going to be able to do this if you do not ditch the wysiwyg features of dreamweaver. You are going to have to learn some code and dive in. Using wysiwyg editors is a bad practice, they will give you crappy results, if you wan tot be serious you need to hard code. I would stop making and slicing up images in photoshop for layouts too, that is also a bad practice, it will give you a tabular layout and all of those images will suck up your bandwidth.

Learning code is going to benefit you more in the long run. Programs like Dreamweaver add a lot of unnecessary code and are not as flexible for design (well, my opinion anyway.) You can still use your template as a point of reference for the design but rather start the layout from scratch in straight html and css.

@ashwiniauthorJul 02.2004 — Thanks for advice.

If possible please give me the code to write it in css.

If possible please give me a example.

As far as using Dreamweaver for Web Designing, I think many professional web designers use this WYSIWYG tool.

I don't think it is wrong to use this. Actually it is very time taking procedure to design a complete webpage in HTML and CSS.

@the_treeJul 02.2004 — Learn CSS yourself, and then you can use it for exactly what you to use it for.

Why is it time consuming to uise HTML? Typing doesn't take longer, ever. I often swith between source and wysiwyg 2 or 3 times a minute.

I don't think someone can call themselves a web designer if they use someone elses software to design webistes.
