Okay,
I'm new here and really new to CSS... Previously, I had learned how to create a page layout in photoshop and slice it in image ready. Once done I would export images and html to use on a page.
Now after reading here... I see that the div is the way to go, not tables. I guess my question is what is the best way to combine photoshop and css for web layout?
Hope that makes some sort of sense!
ShawnUrm... don't use photoshop for layout? By all means make your images in photoshop, your decoration and your background too. But code your layout by hand (preferably first)" But code your layout by hand "
Thanks for the reply.. i'm in the process now of trying to develop by coding everything by hand and not depending on an editor to write the code for me... I guess i should have known the answer would be
photoshop = images
layout = code

Now after reading here... I see that the div is the way to go, not tables.Not neccessarily just <div>'s. A page that is entirely created with <div> tags is just as bad as one created entirely with <table>'s. Use the correct tag for the job, a <p> for a paragraph of text, a <ul> for an unordered list (good for when you have a list of navigational links), etc."Use the correct tag for the job, a <p> for a paragraph of text..."
Right... from what I've gathered here, I need to use <div> tags to help contain a block of info (Navigation...Content...Header...Footer..Ect)
but use css and element tags for almost everything else.
Does that sound about right...?
Thanks again... I'm really that new to this... I have learned quite a bit since i've been here though. Great place!!!yup, that about sums it up, cus you need a layout using divs, but at some cases when doing a menu you don纾
