Photoshop Layout Question

[condawg]

Hey there.
I know how to make a layout in photoshop...
just draw it up and shit.
but, how do I use the layout?
how do I convert it to HTML and all that shit?
all I can do is make the image, i want to make it into HTML.
I guess it would contain slicing or whatever, but how would I do it?
Thank you!!

to be honest, I never slice layouts or really understand how that works. I always design my sites in coding first using solid color blocks. Once the elements flow the way I want THEN I start developing the graphical elements for them piece by piece.

My suggestion is to learn xhtml/css together so you understand how the positioning and display of page divisions works. Then you can start separating out your graphical elements and incorporating them.

Well, you can slice the layout up, hit save for web, and then let it make the tables for you, which aren't XHTML valid (so you just have to make it valid) and then you just open the html file that they give you and copy and paste the code to your site.

This time I sliced my layout but I didn't put the images in a table. It's easy to just line the images up and make a tableless layout and use layers instead. It's possible.
