First post here... have read a lot and learned a lot, so I wanted to take the time to say I appreciate the info you guys have posted here.


On to my issue...

I made a template in photoshop.

I sliced all the images, including the areas where I planned to put content.

I saved the file and all the images and what not.

I bring the file to Dreamweaver, and open up the html in there.

I click on the img's where I want content to be, hit delete, hit insert>layout objects> div tag.

I click on the background field and browse for the image that was there before I deleted it. I put the image in, set the widthxheight and all that good stuff.

When I go to type in the area, and try and use a header tag, or I hit enter, to space down to the next line, and then preview it in a browser, the WHOLE template is messed up and not lined up how i had it...

Anybody have ANY idea why this could be?

It doesn't happen when I just type regular, only when I use a header tag or hit enter.

Thanks in advance...
 


In the real world people use a number of different browsers, and within each different versions.

So in essence a couple questions would need to be answered, least some very basic ones first.

1) What browser is it all messed up in?
2) What the url (if you are not paranoid to show it, otherwise show source sniplets).

General rule of thumb... never rely on a WYSIWYG editor's preview as being the final product.

My guess is that when you did the slice-to-html method out of photoshop, you did so incorrectly and exported an image instead of a non-image slice as a result deleting the image totally threw off the layout, especially if you did not use an xhtml/div style layout.

But anywho, you need a heck of a lot more information posted here to get some useful responses.

Hey, thank you for the response.

1) It appears to be messed up in all browsers I tested (firefox, IE).
2) There is no URL at the moment, I haven't uploaded it yet.


Can you go into further detail about the non-image slicing thing in photoshop? That sounds like it might be the source of the problem...

Fuck, that was your first mistake.

Sounds like someone needs to actually LEARN html, css first. There could have been a ton of things you messed up.

Your talking about just deleting stuff and throwing a <div> tag in, except you don't realize how a <div> would work.

Come on buddy do some homework, start with some really simple projects, and work your way up.
 
Stop Being Such Aszholes man, Let The Guy Learn. Listen, You Should Make The Template In Dreamweaer, Since It Will Make All The <div> Tags For You As You Go Around Putting Content Boxes Here And There. If You Need Further Help, Or Even Help On How To Make A Custom Template on Dreamweaver, Go To Tutorialized.Com, You Should Be Able To Grow On Your Own From There. And Make Sure When You Start Making Your Own Template, It's In HTML Format, Because Sometimes When Exporting DWL to HTML Weirds Things May Hapen. LULZ

Speaking of the need to Learn....


Anywho, @ the op, without seeing your source somewhere it would be difficult to provide some quick [free] help. If the matter is as urgent as you said (you doing it for a client or something?) you may have to suck it up and hire someone for this round.

Thank you... i have noticed this board is full of people that love to just be rude for no good reason, instead of being helpful.

Thanks.
