Hi, Thanks for all help.

I have one question about this.

I am new at this and i see that u have been using dreamweaver to export, i just downloaded adobe fireworks cs5 and i can see option export as css and html.

Do you know if we can use that to export work straight from fireworks without having to use dreamweaver?

Thanks alot

@banerinet Hi, I am pretty sure that you could. I am not familiar with Fireworks CS5. I am going to upgrade soon and do an entire series on it though.

If you export the item from Fireworks you will have to FTP it to your server with filezilla or some other FTP. It may not optimize that well in search engines because all the text might be exported as an image.

@storyindustrial Thanks for your fast answer! Really appreciating your help, keep up good work and waiting for more tutorials! Thank You

I see none of my objects in the browser.

And also about those slices and swap behavior things, what if buttons are curved? I can't find any swap option for vectors :/

[storyindustrial]

@8ghazale8 For curved and round objects Fireworks will automatically create a rectangle. This is because everything in a slice must be exported out into a table cell.

[8ghazale8]

Thanks for your reply :)

and what about not seeing any object in the internet browser?

[storyindustrial]

@8ghazale8 I am not sure what you mean by objects? If you hit F12 your canvas should appear in a web browser.

Don't apologize for thing you did not do it on purpose. You were right about the audio, but it wasn't that bad. Also, you did not produce it on purpose.

Anyway, it was a good tutorial. I didn't know about the 'FRAMES' until you shown me.

Thank you for the hard work.

[storyindustrial]

@mangoprojects Yes, the Frames are very handy. In CS4 and CS5 they are called "States". It is just a naming change, both are exactly the same. I will soon make new videos with a better microphone so hopefully the audio will be up to the Youtube standard. Thank you again for your comment.

You can export CSS in CS3 but, the position is always absolute, and there is no way that I can see where you can make it static.

[storyindustrial]

@JesusIsTheWaydotinfo I actually researched a bit into CS4 and CS5, they do export CSS layouts but make a mess of them. I am sticking with hand-scripting my CSS layouts.

[JesusIsTheWaydotinfo]

@storyindustrial - Yes it does! LOL..If they combined dreamweaver, fireworks, and photoshop together into one program, I think I would be in love with it! LOL

[storyindustrial]

@JesusIsTheWaydotinfo I actually did hear a rumor a few years ago that they were thinking about combining Photoshop and Fireworks. I am pretty sure it was just a rumor though, but who knows? Maybe someday there will be some integration and phasing out of the products.

@storyindustrial that will only happen if some other company will buy photoshop and fireworks because photoshop is for manipulating pictures and fixing them , while fireworks is for website designing and creating tablets and such things. They are totaly opposite things so that will never happen while photoshop and illustraitor could merge since both all rdy are very simmilar. That would be possible.
