Photoshop 7.0 Sliced Image Causes DreamWeaver MX Table To add 1 Pixel gif image!

[Richard Crane]

Hello,

I sliced my page in Photoshop 7 and did a "Save Optimized" to HTML. I opened the page in Dreamweaver MX and it looks find. I want the TABLE background color to be dark gray and the Page color to be light gray.

The problem I have is that Photoshop 7 Output settings added a spacer of 1 pixel by 780 pixels.

This space shows the dark gray color of the table. That dark gray line looks bad with my bottom banner. I removed the spacer and it moved all the cells and images causing more work. I tried align everything manually but I still can see the line at bottom.

Any inputs,

rcrane

First, is it necessary to slice? (Have you got rollovers?) If you can skip
slicing altogether, that's the way to go. Forget "speeding up loading".
For a work-around, how about making a spacer image of your own, in the page
background color, and substitute it for the spacer in the table? Either call it
"spacer" or rename the existing spacer.
Or declare a background color for the td the spacer is in.
As you found out, the spacer row is to "hold the table" open to the size you
want, because the slicing pattern is complex. A simple slice pattern doesn't
need the spacer row.
You may want build the table structure from scratch, using nested or "stacked"
tables, avoiding rowspans and colspans as much as possible.
