Choosing a content type


    Formatting and display options for a slice vary according to its content type. There are three types of slice content:

    • Image slices contain image data, including rollover states. This is the default content type.
    • No Image slices let you create empty table cells that can be populated with text or a solid color. You can enter HTML text in a No Image slice, and if you have the "Text is HTML" flag set, it will be interpreted as HTML when viewed in a browser. No Image slices are not exported as images, and can be previewed in a browser. (See Previewing an image in a browser.)
    • (ImageReady) Table slices act as containers for a subset of slices that, upon export, will be written into the HTML text file as a nested table.

To specify a content type:

  1. Select a slice. If you are working in Photoshop, double-click the slice with the Slice Select tool to display the Slice Options dialog box.
  2. In the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop) or the Slice palette (ImageReady), select a slice type from the Type pop-up menu.
