@LJKFeb 19.2006 — #Hi -

You might not be getting answers because your question is awfully confusing.

So, a design was made in photoshop & you've saved parts of it - as slices or

as separate images or as .html?

Now you're trying to edit it in DW and ? ...maybe you could post the code you've

used so we can better help you.

@WebJoelFeb 20.2006 — #is okay, except that you are filling the TD's with the image itself, not making the image [I]be the background[/I], leaving you opportunity to then place TEXT in the TD cell. -You can only 'fill' a TD once on the same 'layer', or else something is going to cover something else...

So, a brief rundown. Instead of
[code=html]<td><img src="images/foo.*** />Your text here</td>[/code]

try doing

[code=html]<td style="background-image:url(images/foo.*** /)>Your text here</td>[/code]

The first example won't work the way you expect. The second example places [B]Your text here[/B] [I]over[/I] the background image, which is what I think you are trying to do. Basically what you seem to have is not 'a template', but a 'photoalbum' and when you attempt to add text, it loads AFTER the images (hense, it is all over the page).

Fill you TD's with the background image as shown above, and THEN put your text IN the TD cell... ?

-Does this help any?

Very true. ?
------------------------------------

As for chat on web developement, I have a 'public profile' and can always be reached that way even though I visit WD.com 3 or 4 times throughout the day. And this forum is quite user-friendly and very active. It's one of the very best that you'll find. It is always easy to find someone on here willing to help or offer quick suggestions. ?

@pulze1authorFeb 20.2006 — #Really im not doing that n e more then Thanks

@LJKFeb 21.2006 — #Hi -

In my experience, it's much easier to learn how to

code web pages with a less 'hand-holding' editor

like HTML-Kit or TSW Web Coder. You need to

know what you're doing to make changes, though.

Try picking-up a book or viewing web resources on

.html and Cascading Style Sheets [css]. Get to know

the basic tags and how they normally display [header / h#,

division / div, paragraph /p, unordered list / ul, etc.

Then use the power of style rules to tweak how they appear

or where they need to be positioned to best suit the content

you've already coded.

P.S. -

Using a layout based the use of a table is a really

bad idea - unless it's just data to be presented.

Good luck & have fun,

El
