@Marc:

Thanks very much. Can you be a little more specific in your question? It’s unclear whether you want to include text in the background image or if you want html text on top of a background image.

I found the tutorial very useful, thanks a bunch! I did get confused at the beginning though because you use a green background and I thought they were slices! LOL
What do you do though if you have a background jpg and text???

Thanks Randy! It’s hard for me to even hazard a guess without seeing the PNG file.

Jim,

Great tutorials! I really appreciate them. One problem I am having is exporting text. Every time I export a page with editable text, the page lays out crazy in both DW and in the browser. But when I slice everything, it positions correctly but I lose the HTML text. What am I doing wrong?

@Maurits: Symbol properties panel is only populated if you use one of the Component Symbols found in the Common Library.

@Andy: Are you exporting as CSS and Images? HTML and Images export won’t respect the alignment option.

@Garrett: If you want a specific div alignment, using the rectangle will/should keep all the text within a specific div.

Hope this helps. Sorry for the delay in replying, everyone; these posts just came in!

@ Jason: Thanks Jason! Sounds like you’re exporting as HTML and Images, rather than CSS and Images.

@jafpro: Thanks Jafpro! At this point, you can only export out a single page at a time in the CSS and Images Export. It’s possible that in James’ video (he’s great, btw), he only had a single page in the design.

Let me know if this helps, guys!

Great tutorial Jim! I am new to Adobe, but these are great tools. The problem I am having in Fireworks CS4 is when I export my slices and I open the html file in dream weaver it is importing my slices to tables instead of divs. I looked for an option to change this, but I am having no luck. Any ideas?

thanks for the tutorial!! I have a question tho, about the CSS export. I found this thread after I got the grayed out box for current page only. I thought I had done something wrong. I saw the video by James Williamson, http://tv.adobe.com/#vi+f1594v1010. He talks about exporting all pages and his selection was not grayed out. Here you are saying it can only be done page by page. Is there no way to export all pages? It seems a shame to create the whole site in Fireworks to only have to recreate in in Dreamweaver once approved. Sorry, just confused!?…

Good stuff.
Since the export recognizes text when does it make sense to put a box around text areas?
Not using rectangles seems to be the easiest way to reduce the overlap error.
