    Worked perfectly the “second” time. Messed something up the first time around and they weren’t nesting where I wanted them to. So try try again. Deleted all of my changes and started anew. As I said everything worked perfectly the “second” time around. Thanks Jeff!

    This only works for left navbars. How would I generate a centered navbar?

  19. DJ Suz (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    What a great tutorial. I tend to delve right into the code and plug away at it because the visuals through me off in design mode, but this was a nice tut which I have searched long and hard for. Save me some time in future with photoshop layouts!

  22. Amit (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    how could i download or see this tutorial….each time i press play button and it displays an ad. for a couple of seconds and disappears…..???

  23. Retroshift (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    I got a question: Isn’t it better to refer your css styling to an external css-page rather than put it all in the header of your html page?
    Just wondering..(for large sites maybe..)?

  24. abcd14u (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    fantastic tutorial in a wonderful way.. this is what i looked for. Good Job Geoff Blake!! keep posting such things again..

  25. Sam (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    Retroshift,

    Yes it is. I would take his tutorial a step futher and paste all the styles into a new css external file. Then, I would simply link the file to the page by clicking the “Attach Style Sheet” button at the bottom of the CSS STYLES Panel (it looks like two links of a chain). And point it too your css file you just made.

  26. Mark (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    Man …. This is the first Tutorial I’ve found after searching for like 3 days that I’ve been able to follow, its super clear, and doesn’t just tell you what to do and let you figure out the filler yourself .. I’m a complete noob and I now finally know how to get things moving .. :) ..

  27. randy (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    take me through the slicing of an image from shotoshop to dreamweaver

  32. Lili (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    Thanks, Geoff. I am seriously overwhelmed with work. Using slices to generate CSS from a PhotoShop image will help me catch up pretty quickly, but without your tutorial this would have been a long night. Really, this is the most lucid explanation of getting the code transitioned from PhotoShop to Dreamweaver that I have seen. Thank you again!

  35. Laura (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    Hey, great tutorial!

    I just have one question…
    After I’ve sliced up the navigation bar, how do I get it to go to the center of the page instead of just sticking at the left?

  36. kes (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    nice tut!! one question, lame one actually..
    how do u insert busy graphics in the background to make it maximize the space and not repeat itself?

  37. bkili (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    Great tutorial!!! Very helpful, I hope we can get more like it.

    Thanks Geoff Blake..

    This is an excellent tutorial which I was searching for days ( at least last one year) how I can create a template using photoshop image slice.

    I got the answer. By your tutorial anyone can build any template I think.

    I am expecting a tutorial to build Photoshop PSD template and apply it as HTML/CSS

  39. jeanne Bullard (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    This is a great lesson! Too bad i didn’t discover it until today!
    I tried it out and everything worked except one thing: i can’t seem to get Photoshop to write a .css file. it writes .iros. what am i doing wrong? using CS4.

  40. jeanne Bullard (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    oh, i didn’t see a .css file, so i didn’t think it wrote the css. But the styles were in there.

    and evidently, i need another good tutorial about how to make content appear where i want it to appear in the browser. i keep going around and around and around….. HELP!

  41. Bob L (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    I am new to Dreamweaver and found this very informative, but is there a reason why you couldn’t just have exported the CSS for the table from Document 1 and import it into the other Dreamweaver Document?

  42. tedd (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    this is really nice, but can Photoshop make an external style sheet instead?
    Or, what is the best way to convert the inline?

  43. Kailey (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

  44. Kailey (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    Oops, my message got messed up. Instead of having ‘div’ i have ‘tr’ in the code area. What does this mean? and how do i get styles in the layers panel !!??

  45. Mark (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    Awesome tutorial!!! Great job

  46. Ryan Nickell (Reply) on Wednesday January 28, 2009

    Bloody brilliant tutorial! Geoff; I’ve made my site now, and it looks great, however, I can’t seem to get it to center in my browser. How would I go about this? I’ve Googled it, and all of the solutions involve coding that I don’t seem to have through this process. Any help?

    Thanks greatly!
