Slicing and adding text
Hi,
Please don't give me a whipping if this question has already been answered a million times, but I tried searching the forum and couldn't find the answer I need. Actually I have two questions: 1) I am working on a web page in Dreamweaver and I want to add some content boxes made in Photoshop. I have sliced a small area of the content box which I want to use as a link and am now trying to add it to my Dreamweaver page. However, when I save it for web and try to open it into the Dreanweaver page, it comes out as a new page; I can't seem to add just the content boxes. How can I add just the content boxes to my page? 2) What is the best way to add text to my content boxes? Is it possible to add text in Dreamweaver to a content box made in Photoshop? If so, how? Sorry if my questions are obvious but this is my first time.

I am not really sure what you are refering too when you say 'content box' all you will get from a photoshop file (.jpg, gif, .png) is an image. The image you get can be a background or displayed where you position it on the page. Over the image you can use CSS to position content where you would like it. But I am unclear at what you are really asking

Hi,
Thanks for replying. What I mean by a content box is an image made in PS that will serve as a content box on my web page. What I want to do is move it on to my web page. I try to do this by slicing the parts that I want as links and then saving to web as an image. However, when I try to open these slices in Dreamweaver to move them onto my page, they are in little pieces and I don't know how to piece them together again so that they appear as one image. Any ideas? The reason I am slicing the image is because I want to use one of the words on the image as a link and this is the only way I know of doing this. If anyone knows another way of creating a link from a word on photoshop image, I would be very interested to know. The other question I was asking was how I can add things on top of an image in Dreamweaver, such as text. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. I hadn't thought of that. It's a very steep learning curve.
(By the way, I just realised I contradicted myself with the methods I wrote that I used to save the sliced image. Basically, I tried saving it both as html and as an image, and couldn't work out how to get it on to my page either way) Cheers, and any more suggestions welcome.

That's really helpful. Thanks a lot.
I've done everything you said, and have now managed to paste all the sliced parts into my table as one image. Just one problem: I can't see any of the colours or content of the image. It's just a group of small grey boxes. What am I doing wrong? I'll keep at it.......
