I just realised ImageReady can slice your layout into CSS styles and divs instead of tables. I was wondering if there is any difference between coding it yourself than using ImageReady.

How do you set that up, where is the option, that would help me so much.

If you Slice with Imageready it saves everything in .html files, than you open it in dreamweaver or frontpage or notepad ad edit it from there.

hope I could help you.

I thought photoshop also could slice your image up?

Still prefer to use CSS and code it with notepad.

I know that, just that I was wondering how does ImageReady code the CSS.

The option is located when you are in a document, there is a small little arrow near the Original, Optimized, 2-Up, 4-Up. Click on it and choose others. Then theres a dropdown box with HTML, click on the dropdown box and select slices. Then choose generate CSS at the slice output.

Don't use IR CSS, it's the biggest load of balls i've ever seen lol. It's alot easier to just slice it normally and then re-code using CSS.

Thanks.

I will try it, but I don't know how to do DIV Layers and all that stuff yet, my CSS is OK. So I use ImageReady to "inspire" myself.

The css code is ugly that it makes. All it does it make a billion layers and use absolute positioning.

It's ok to use if you plan on learning, you get yourself a task, re-code it and make it neat

Lol, thanks for all the replies. I thought for it awhile, and I will just use it for learning purposes. Better off using tables in ImageReady.

I didn't knew that Imageready has that option. Well now I know and might start testing it in a while.

I prefer to use notepad though.

Will just test IR.

Edit in PS slice and export in Fireworks best solution around

absolute positioning makes me mad sometimes its too superficial buddy

Well I prefer coding it myself. Actually most of the web sites I do, are done in CSS. I just believe that when I code it myself I gain more control over my code because sometimes ImageReady adds tags I don't need.

You can forget IR css, even for learning purposes. Or ESPECIALLY for learning purposes. Code generated by IR is almost as bad as html generated by M$ frontpage. Or mine
