Website and slices

[earth h4x]

I need help with slicing layouts. I just need to know how to slice them to where the more content you add, the longer the layout gets. I guess you could just call it stretching. Can anyone help?

[Don McCahill]

In a case like this, you need to have at least some cells in the table that are stretchable. If you want the additional content to be able to make the page deeper, for instance, you could make a center cell that would stretch with content. Then, the cells to either side should have some kind of image that can be used as a background, rather than as a normal image. These will tile, if built correctly, and continue to look correct.

Unfortunately, you need to know a bit about HTML code, or be very comfortable with your web page program to achieve this well.

I don't know if it's the correct term, but I've always called em fluid tables.

here's the zip file <[url]http://www.thephotoshoplounge.com/random/fluid[/url] table template 15px.zip>

It's done by using percentages in your table widths instead of a set width in pixels.

You can download a template I use frequently which has the html, images and a presliced photoshop file so you can create your own borders.

Hope that helps.
