Would love to get my hands on Dreamweaver. I've heard a lot of good stuff about the program. For now I'm using HTML Kit. The more I use it the easier it gets and it has some really nice add on features. Plus I think I'm getting a better understanding of how HTML works with this interface. Now CSS is something I would really like to learn but it looks really complex. I'm searching for a really easy step by step explanation to get going.

Slicing

Yes I agree Slice it in PS then import the html fole into Dreamweaver or similar and convert the sliced into editable tables

Thanks Tim
I made the changes and they are now working. I'm kind of disappointed I won't be able to use the PSP8 generated code, as that would have saved me some time. Oh well. Now I can stop thinking about it and do something else.

The other images you look at are probably absolute, and not relative. I would suggest just manually changing them to absolute at this point.

Thanks for your input.

I am making online auction templates. This is the first one where I'm using a
sliced image. I'm trying to figure out how to get the sliced images to show up
in the preview feature with images stored on my ftp and not the ones on my harddrive.
They won't show with my auction listing softwares preview either.

The template I'm working on now has hand entered unsliced image url's. That part works fine.
I've also added
the sliced images PSP8 code into this template. If the image folder on my harddrive gets moved
then template preview won't locate the sliced images in my ftp space. The hand entered unsliced
images get located and show, but the sliced image wells show a red x. I don't understand why
my hand entered unsliced images show but the sliced image code is not functioning the same way. I'm missing something.
I could always just enter the sliced images by hand but I want to learn to use this correctly.

I know that when the link online is opened it shows the images. But when I view source and preview the page in html editor
the the unsliced images do show. The sliced images do not. At least on my pc.

I also tested the html code in an online HTML code tester and my hand entered images show up. The sliced images do not.

I don't get it.

This is the sample code harvested from view sourcing the link I gave above.

When I test the "sample" code at

http://www.zoicks.com/practice.htm

the sliced images do not show up.

But, when I do "view" "source", and the code opens in my HTML editor the images are not showing up in the "preview" feature of the HTML editor. This doesn't happen when I view source with other pages on the internet.

maybe someone can see where I'm going wrong.

Okay, you posted this right while I was writing my other reply.

Yep, the image references in here are relative to the HTML file, not absolute. So when you view the source of the uploaded file, that HTML file is stuck in some temporary directory on your computer that is probably just for viewing source on files. When that happens, it does not also store the images there.

In other words, as long as you upload the images and the HTML like you did with this sample, it should work fine. This one certainly appears to be working fine.

If the location of the images to the html folder is changed, you have to change the code in the html page as well.

I do that very thing in PSP 8, myself. If I remember correctly, the images automatically get created in the same folder as the html file. Personally, I create that all within a local folder I already have set up in Frontpage as a web. Then I move the files in FP, so FP automatically changes the references in the html file.

If I had just moved the images around in Internet explorer, it would not have worked at all.

Hopefully that info helps. If you could give me a URL of the uploaded page, that might help me diagnose the problem more.
