PSP Image Slicer & Rapid Css Problem - 10/25/2005 19:18:08
Hello! I am currently using the trial version for Rapid Css 2005 web software. I was told a while back through a tutorial about the image slicer on web pages. One ting they didnt mention was how to add regular text to a specific image in the layout. I load the chopped design onto the Rapid CSS program seems much easier for me as it all comes up the way it is suppose to be. When i look at the codes the images are all labeled what psp gave them and then below each one is another table that says blank.gif etc. Anyway so I tried to add the <p> code in the correct space after a certain images code and then check preview and see my layout started spacing and the text is only going between the images instead of directly on an image. This is the 5th time I have designed a web page but have yet to successfully get through it completely with the HTML. I even checked a tutorial on a site and saw that I was putting in the right code in the right place. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks!

Hi and Welcome to OutFront.
The prob is that the sliced images are in the cells in the same place you want to put text.
Sometimes (and I stress sometimes), you can put those individual slices for those cells as background images to those individual cells.
Don't know if that's the best way, but I've worked around that problem before using that technique.

Hello! Thank you for the welcome and fast reply.
So the cells are the blank.jpg images? Do I just add the background="" code to the table code of the real image or the code for the blank image?
When I first saved the sliced images I remember seeing an option check box asking me about the cells.. (it was checked) I wander if that could help at all if I unchecked it?
Have you tried that?
Thanks again!!

If they're blank, you may be able to just remove them as long as they don't mess up the table formatting. You should be able to just set the width and height of the cell to match the size of the blank image.
If not, to change a cell from containing an image to putting the image in the background:
<td><img border="0" src="myImage.gif" width="50" height="10"></td>
<td background="myImage.gif" width="50" height="10"> </td>
Notice with using a background, I have to set the cell width & height.
That help any?

Did I slice the page wrong? Or is there a way to fix this???
IMO, nope and nope. That is the nature of tables. If you expand the width, it wants to expand the width of all cells in taht column. Same goes true for height and rows. There is not much you can do about it.
Could you combine cells if there is an unused cell adjacent to it?
Is this text you're sending to the browser? Or is it a field or what? DO you have a URL?
You may be able to do something with a <span> or <div> hiding overflow but using tables, those are the rules; text won't flow outside a cell but generally will expand the cell to fit the text.

Put an expansion point in the table. Basically, the left and right table that are causing the white spaces to appear, you can add another row, and allow that row to expand 100% height. Then insert a texture that you slice out of the template and set it as a background. Then as the table expands, only the row expands and it repeats the spacer.gif.
