jeffman Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 An html element can hold exactly one background image. To fit slices together as backgrounds, you'll need 1 div for each slice. If you sliced the image vertically, the divs will need to be floated or positioned absolutely so they line up across the page instead of one on top of each other. For this sort of thing, horizontal slices might work best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffman Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Were you expecting instructions for making Dreamweaver do it for you? My mistake. That's not really what these forums are about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Synook Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Well, do you know what a div is? Or what a HTML element is in the first place?Also, do you know CSS?Without knowing these, you will not be able to progammatically solve your problem, you will need to get the program to do it for you, and we can't help you there.

jlhaslip Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Show us what you have for code so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webflex Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hi,Dreamweaver is a good program, but not profissional. The profissional here must be you. You have to study HTML and CSS at least to create a standard site. Just study and you will see the results.Complements \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synook Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Well, I've seen many professionals use Dreamweaver, and I think its syntax highlighting is better than most code editors and its function library one of the most extensive (and well-integrated) ones.I think really the problem with DreamWeaver is that ... err ... less experienced designers tend to use the WYSIWYG view instead of code view, which is not very good as, as Webflex said, you don't get to interact directly with the code, with which you will get better control. As my IT teacher used to say, it is never WYSIWYG, only WYSIAWYG (What You See Is Almost What You Get). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webflex Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Hi,That's a good quote : As my IT teacher used to say, it is never WYSIWYG, only WYSIAWYG (What You See Is Almost What You Get).That's also true about profissionals using dreamweaver. Sometimes I also user Dreamweaver (I'm not a profissional xP) just with the code viewer. Complements \o/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
