Snore

simple question but its bothering me and i dont know why its happening... Alright i am creating a personal website used photoshop and sliced the image up the way i wanted it. But now when i go in to dreamweaver and try to turn one of my slices that contains something i want to put a url to eveything shifts sizes and spreads out a little bit and throws off my entire design... any suggestions as to what i am not doing right?

sorry if it sounds confusing

designhide

hmm.... i used to have that problem a long time ago, i would check your attributes for margin, padding, width, and height.

but, on another note, I would suggest against image slicing your website... it will be hard to update and change.

take the time to learn the basics of CSS (its quite easy) and start using background images and div tags!

good luck!

if we could see the code it might help, but it is most likely what designhide said.

My husband is setting up the website for me, and it is driving us insane that we can't get rid of those random gaps and lines. we used to be able to find a solution, but since we replaced one of the buttons it did something funky that we just couldn;t figure out, so we gave up. If anyone could help us, that would be greeeaat as it looks very unprofessional to be an illustrator etc and have a crappy website. The website is www.a3on.dk

thanks in advance!

Try removing all the &nbsp; tags in the code. Sometimes a <br /> after an image also sorts out gaps in Table layouts. Don't ask me why . Also try to avoid rowspan and colspan as it usually creates gap problems. Wrap everything inside tables instead. Make sure they all have cellpadding="0" and cellspacing="0".

I.E:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>

Instead of:

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td></td>
<td></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td ="colspan="3"></td>
</tr>
</table>


Ideally you should stay fra away from tables and DW. But if you're just doing this one site it's a bit much to learn XHTML/CSS just for that.

Hope that helps.
