Dreamweaver/Photoshop Templates

HI,

I have recently accuired a photoshop template, which I have altered and I am happy with...so I open the file in imaghe ready, and create some slices.

I then save as an HTML and Images....open up in Dreamweaver ... in webpage view it looks all over the place, gaps inbetween graphics where they have been sliced...etc etc and hundreds of space GIFs as well...

Although it looks exactly the way I want it to look once I open up the webpage in IE...

Has anyone come across this before or no off a solution? Or do you think it is more of a Dreamweaver problem?

Any help would be greatly apreciated...

Rob.

ha ha.. yes I have I used to use these photoshop templates a while back and after seeing all of the mess that can arise fro it I opted not to use them anymore...

If I am correct the problem is with the slices you are making, there may be too many of them and ultimately it will make you site load like crap, keep the slices to a minimum, and if possible do NOT use the html that is exported from Photshop or ImageReady, it will save you lots of headaches.

Another thing I used to do is:
--slice out the page
--export it as you ahve been
--bring up dreamweaver or your preffered html editor
--Carefully put the site back together.

It's a lot of work but once you do that and use Dreamweaver's template option the workload seems minimal IMO.

Im sure this is not the most optimized or efficient way to do this but this worked for me when I was starting to make websites back in the day.

My suggestion is make your site in fireworks which can export html that works well with dreamweaver(since they are integrated into the same package).
