The subject really says it all. I have a rectangle that I want to hold HTML. I have created a textbox with in the image, sliced it and exported it. However when I use Dreamweaver, the text starts in the middle of the box, not the top. Do I need to create mupltiple textboxes and slice each piece? The text will not be static thus I don''t want it to be in the image.

This is the first time I am using fireworks so I appreciate your help

You should be able to edit the exported html and set the cell where your text is to align="top" - Is that what you mean?

Not sure if totally understand what you are trying to achieve.

The table cell in the exported HTML can be edited as any other can be.

There my be something hampering your setting for the table cell. I would look at the page in code view to see if you can identify the HTML tag that is causing you the error.

Importing Fireworks html into DW does add alot of code bloat.

E.G.

Fireworks HTML:

----------------------

<html>
<head>
<title>title</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;">

</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="484">

<tr>
<td><img src="spacer.gif" width="212" height="1" border="0"></td>
<td><img src="spacer.gif" width="60" height="1" border="0"></td>
<td><img src="spacer.gif" width="212" height="1" border="0"></td>
<td><img src="spacer.gif" width="1" height="1" border="0"></td>
</tr>

-------------------------

after removing bloat:

-------------------------

<html><head><title>title</title></head><body>
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td colspan="3">
<img src="sliced_r1_c1.gif"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td rowspan="2"><img src="sliced_r2_c1.gif"></td>
<td><img src="sliced_r2_c2.gif"></td>
<td rowspan="2"><img src="sliced_r2_c3.gif"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><img src="sliced_r3_c2.gif"></td>
</tr></table>
</body></html>

----------------

Quite a difference in size, and displays the exactly the same!

Thanks Limbo, I will try that. Did you remove the "bloat" by hand or a resource?

By Hand - it's a pain but the results are leaner, faster, cleaner...
