I'm new to layouts and coding and slicing and all that. SO im wondering how does coding and slicing a layout change how it looks? Does anyone have a layout how it locks uncoded and unsliced and the same layout coded and sliced? Someone please help me ty
Moved by opensourcehost (Forum Moderator) from Web Market: Please post in the correct forum next time, thanks :).
Slicing the layout means you'll be coding it, useally, using tables in my knowage. Slicing is when you cut up the whole layout into smaller bits to impove the loading speed of the web page.
The best combonation is the Photoshop CS3 package as it comes with Image-Ready I belive which can slice for you.
Please turn off your PC and sit in the rocking chair in the corner of your room.Quote:

I dare you, I dare you to go on a forum that's not full of pre-pubescent squeaky teens and ask real web developers what's wrong with tables. Believe me, you'd get smited to hell and back as it's not their use - their use is to hold tabular data.
Ok say you dislike the errrr wii thats fair enough because you may not like the games etc, but theres no difference in looks between a static flash site and a html site apart from flash loads at once and html in bits.Quote:

Anyway, without HTML Flash websites wouldn't exist.
There is truly nothing wrong with tabular layouts, as the post above states it is meerly standards for CSS and XHTML that should be the prefered coding style.
The main reason behind it, is Loading speeds.
A CSS file can be saved in the cache of a browser, hence promotes a crisper load speed.
Overall, corporate designers still use tabular layout choices, however in competition to loading speed, layering,co-ordination,readability, functionability, colour co-ordination and file size - CSS and XHTML defeat Tables.
Gooluck with whatever you choose, my advice would be to watch some CSS tutorial files on youtube or similar upload site.
I learned msot of my coding knowledge through visual tutorials.

I can prove you heavily wrong on that.Quote:

That's just one of the many, well, most designers that use divs as opposed to the improper use of tables.

That's just a list of many sites that are coded in divs.
Tables are made to show data, not made for layouts.
CSS & XHTML is for layouts and styling, it loads faster, no spacers, and is better in every way, it's also an easyer thing to read.
Thank you.Quote:
