Illustrator saves unnecessary HTML table cells when saved for web.

I saved the sliced webpage as an HTML file but when opened in has created a number of extra cells that puts the content slices in the template out of alignment.

1. How do I get around this problem?

2. Is there some feature I need to enable to prevent the extra cells from being created in HTML?

3. DO content boxes/modules ALWAYS need to be perfectly aligned vertically (one above another) for the HTML code to keep the visual alignment seen in Illustrator (when viewed in Dreamweaver)?

4. Is there an HMTL conflict between Illustrator and Dreamweaver?

Hello

Well, in deed, almost all the programs that have the "export to web" feature, writes some extra code not necessary for a well formed page, but necessary to keep the layout. So is normal that Dreamweaver and many more editors make some "disasters" in your page.

I have to say too, that depends of the configuration you use in your html pages in DW, if you set the editor to validate as XHTML or HTML 4.01 strict, you will never get a good page from ilustrator or another program.

You can try disabling all this features in DW.

But i thinks that the better way is to save a sliced image and build your won page from scratch using html and css.

;)
