I need some help with a site that I am doing. I am having total HTML thinking failure and I cannot figure out how to make and Image that I have Sliced in Image ready and exported and use it as a site template. I have places on the image that I made where I would like to input the HTML and web content, the problem is that i cannot remember how to set it up so that I am able to put multiple tables on the image and set it up so that I may put the text on top of the image that I have created. For some reason setting the background of the tables as teh sliced images is not working and then setting the size or percent and then putting the <tr> and <td> tags and enabling myself to be able to have other text and pictures set up on the template.
I do not want to use iFrames for this site. I created a slice top middle and bottom section of the image which will be the site. I know that I will set the bottom slice of the image as its own table so that it may be moved down as a result of more content. I am not sure how to keep the gradient fill backing that I have if i do go longer.
Here is the site: http://lucentcomputers.com//dhhs/dhhs.html

My questions to those willing to help are:
How can I use the slices as the background and place text over them?
How can I make my image so that it will use the sliver gradient fill as the page goes on where the content is?
How can I put DHTML or Javascript menus into the tabbed buttons that I have created at the top of the image?

I know that is a lot of question and a huge brain failure, but I would appreciate the help. It is for my schools soccer team and i would really like to get it up and working.

I'm not familiar with with slicing up images in photoshop, but it looks to me like you need to do more slicing rather than trying to use one image for your entire site. It would probably be best that you sliced each section up so you'll end with multiple images. This will make it possible to set the separate images in the tables like you're wanting to do. But if you still plan on using just the one image then I think you'll need to use image maps which may make it even more complicated.

i will take your advice thanks

i think there will be no problem

yes you can use sliced images.

but we aware that where you want to put text or any othere external object in design "that area" should be sliced seperate

then you can just remove that sliced image and put it as a background image for that particular <td>

and last dont forget give same hight and width to that <Td> as it has with that image before.

hope this will help you.

thanks

by the way
