i've finished updating a templatefreak template using photoshop and I've saved it to the psd file. but when i use "save for web" to generate the index.html file I must be doing something wrong because when i open it in frontpage i've lost the text tables that were there (which were on the original template)
any help greatly appreciated.
i can get photoshop to generate a image and index file, but when I open it in frontpage I can't seem to be able to add a text table without moving around the slices. Seems that the slices are not in the background.
help!

Did you go into image ready and create the slices?
i was using the slices that came with the template.
so i should clear the slices, and re-slice in image ready.
how do I make sure that it becomes the background of the site?

Can somone please help me with this. I have a bunch of .PSD files and I want to make them into HTML. I have been able to make a static HTML in Image ready, but I cannot find out how to make it a dynamic with the images. I was able to output it so all the images are seperate. When I look at the HTML code all it does, is point to a .gif file of the whole page.
Thanks

dynamic in what way? the images change when you mouse your mouse over? or the content changes and layout stays the same when ya move across the site?

Dynamic in that it is not a single GIF for the whole page. Each image is editable in HTML page layout. Being able to make hyperlinks, mouseovers etc of the images that were used in the PSD file. I have never worked with PSD files before.
I have seen where people have taken a PSD file and made an index.html with the assiciated image files from the layers in the PSD and then you were bale to edit and link stuff through Front Page.
Make any sense?

first you have to slice which you want to be dynamic, and save it into HTML with 2 states. one of hover, and the other normal. then work it from then on.
To both of you, the code PS generates isn't very good code, use the slices you have to code an HTML page by your own.
I thought TutorialFreak provided some already coded HTML pages with the templates, just look if you don't have an html page already made that comes with the template.

I agree with FleZ there, photoshop generates the worst code you could think of. What I do is I just save the image slices and go into dreamweaver and create a table and go from there. It helps a lot.

Create table then just insert the slices into the table as an image or background? Would it make a difference?
