Fireworks to CSS Problem.

[SeanieC]

Fireworks isn't exporting to CSS for some reason. It worked the first time I did it, and I haven't done anything different expcept change the amount of slices I was exporting, yet it just keeps exporting to pure HTML. I mean, thats not CSS..?!


<div id="idashr2c4" style="position:absolute; left:714px; top:30px;width:186px; height:90px;z-index:2; visibility:visible;"><img name="idash_r2_c4" src="images/idash_r2_c4.jpg" width="186" height="90" border="0"></div>
<div id="idashr3c4" style="position:absolute; left:714px; top:120px;width:55px; height:17px;z-index:3; visibility:visible;"><img name="idash_r3_c4" src="images/idash_r3_c4.jpg" width="55" height="17" border="0"></div>
<div id="idashr3c5" style="position:absolute; left:769px; top:120px;width:23px; height:17px;z-index:4; visibility:visible;"><img name="idash_r3_c5" src="images/idash_r3_c5.jpg" width="23" height="17" border="0"></div>
<div id="idashr3c6" style="position:absolute; left:792px; top:120px;width:72px; height:17px;z-index:5; visibility:visible;"><img name="idash_r3_c6" src="images/idash_r3_c6.jpg" width="72" height="17" border="0"></div>


See what I mean?!

Any ideas??

In general you'll want to avoid slice-n-dice when doing CSS layouts.

Any reason?

[ray326]

The execution philosophy is different. Often what was done with slice-n-dice tables is now done with a single background image. Images in general are kept in one piece except for special visual tricks but that doesn't appear to be what you're doing, given the example.

Technically, it is CSS. It's just using the in-line aspect of CSS styling (the last level of the "cascade" in Cascading Style Sheets).

[SeanieC]

It does the job?

[ray326]

The style attribute carries inline CSS style info.

Yep, sorry I had a bit of confusion with what to expect. After exporting from fireworks to CSS I had problem after problem. So I decided to build the site myself with CSS. A lot easier then I was expecting and I am more then happy with the results.

Thanks for posting though guys!!
