I was going to see if I could help, but I couldn't understand your writing. Sorry about that. I wonder what ever happened to things like... I don't know... punctuation and spelling.
You probably think I'm being a bit petty, but let's face it - if you can't get the fundamentals of the English language right, what chance do you have with html?

i can understand what hes saying, unfortunately i dont use photoshop soi ant help

What you do is prepare the file on Photoshop. Place the grid lines where you want them then switch to ImageReady (there is a direct link button at the very bottom of the main tool palette). Once in ImageReady select the knife tool and draw nice rectangles using the snap to guides feature. You'll end up with the page cut into slices. Name each slice. Then go to "file" from the top menu bar and select "save optimised as". Name your HTML file and where you want to save it. ImageReady will create 2 files - one will be the HTML page and the second will be an "images" folder containing all your slices (if you've done it right).

Disclaimer: I don't recommend building HTML pages using this method as they are often clunky, code bloated, file size heavy monstrosities that are a nightmare to change & maintain later on.
