Html and images help

[Orbit]

OK i have created this image in photoshop and made some slices where i want to be able to add some test or other html things but i cant figur out how to put the html text or link into the slice without deleting the slice image. How do i go about doing this?

The slices are as below:

You need to export the image (including the base html) then open the file (the HTML file, not the sliced images) in a text/html editor.

Post an original of the file (compressed zip or sit) and we'll run though it.

yeah i have done that but how do i put html code into that specific slice because when i click on the slice it just has something like img scr="/images/main-6.gif" or sumthing

What do you want to do with it? Make it a link?

Grab a book on HTML and read up on it first before trying to go any further with your project. It'll probably answer most of the questions you have right now.

If you want to use one or both of the slices in the yellow as a link, just wrap the IMG tag. <a href="http://www.yahoo.com" title="A Search Engine"> <img (your image in the HTML file you want as a link......> </a>

If you want to add text where the big grey slice is (11), then delete that slice and paste the text in that cell. Set the background color to the appropriate grey.

Probably using a CSS class for the text you want to place with a background image set to the sliced image that should be shown behind it. That would probably be a flexible way to do things.

btoth that sounds like a good idea can you explain a little more tho

Post a JPG copy of the full image. 1st reason is I think the slices need some adjustments there, to allow for text resizing and more/less issues. It's also alot easier to show you by doing it, then explaining things based on what's been done.

Not perfect, but close enough for you to see what's going on in it.

Remove the .zip extension from the file before trying to decompress it. It's actually in Stuffit SITX format, I just didn't feel like recompressing in zip (sorry) and the board only allows ZIP attachments.
