cool. i pretty much figured this out on my own two months ago, but my problem is when its in dream weaver... although i believe that using tables makes it not get all fucked up and move around... am i right? so i have given up on making sites and templates for the time being due to this frustration.

Nesting tables fixes the fucked up problems. But only like 5% of the people realize that using nested <div>'s is so much more powerful and is what web coding is meant to be.

yea sicloan can be confusing sometimes when it comes to coding, confuses me too lol. But he's right about that <div> tags keep tables much more orderly, experiment with them and you'll see. Back on topic, This tutorial is good, explains what the slice tool does and should really be helpfull for newbs .

confusing? probably, but just to make it clear (or try to at least) i'm going to be writing a html coding tutorial based strictly on <div>'s and css, and possibly combine it with akules tutorial to make a master website "how to".

You have to put your images in the background of the table cells.
HTML Code:
<table><tr><td style="background-image:url(1.jpg);">content content content</td></tr></table>
As you can see the image is moved from <td><img> to <td style=""> This is so you can add text over it.

css and <div>'s are a very good way to learn html the RIGHT way. But, you cannot use the method posted in this thread to get the layout the way you want it.

To add content on top of a layout, you simply add the image to the background of your <td>'s like i did in the post above yours.

you put the image in the background of the <td> But you ahve to specify the width of the <td> as well as the height. Because tables suck, this is the shittiest way of coding html.

HTML Code:
<table><tr><td style="width:532px; height:352px; background-image:url(http://www.ma-tt.net/Practice/images/index_04.gif);">
CONTENT HERE</td></tr></table>
of course you will have WAY more <td>'s and <tr>'s depending on your layout.

Here is your image ready source code, very very shitty.


HTML Code:
<html> <head> <title>Untitled-1</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <!-- ImageReady Slices (Untitled-1) --> <table id="Table_01" width="700" height="500" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/index_01.gif" width="700" height="108" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"> <img src="images/index_02.gif" width="700" height="40" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img src="images/index_03.gif" width="168" height="328" alt=""></td> <td rowspan="2"> <img src="images/index_04.gif" width="532" height="352" alt=""></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img src="images/index_05.gif" width="168" height="24" alt="Hey everyone!"></td> </tr> </table> <!-- End ImageReady Slices --> </body>
Even thought its shitty, lets add some content over the images.
HTML Code:
<html> <head> <title>Untitled-1</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> </head> <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0"> <!-- ImageReady Slices (Untitled-1) --> <table id="Table_01" width="700" height="500" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-image:url(images/index_01.gif); width:700px; height: 108px;"> &nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" style="background-image:url(images/index_02.gif); width:700px; height:40px;"> &nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-image:url(images/index_03.gif); width:168px; height:328px;"> &nbsp;</td> <td rowspan="2" style="background-image:url(images/index_04.gif); width:532px; height:352px;"> &nbsp;</td> </tr> <tr> <td style="background-image:url(images/index_05.gif); width:168px; height:24px;"> &nbsp;</td> </tr> </table> <!-- End ImageReady Slices --> </body>
