Setting Slices output settings


    You can set the following options in the Slices options in the Output Settings dialog box (see Using the Output Settings dialog box):

    Generate Table

    Controls the layout of slices using an HTML table, rather than a Cascading Style Sheet.

    Empty Cells

    Specifies how empty slices are converted to table cells. Select GIF, IMG W&H to use a one-pixel GIF with width and height values specified in the IMG tag. Select GIF, TD W&H to use a one-pixel GIF with width and height values specified by the table cell (TD tag). Select NoWrap, TD W&H to place a nonstandard NoWrap attribute on the table data and also place width and height values specified on the TD tags.

    TD W&H

    Specifies when to include width and height attributes for table data: Always, Never, or Auto (the recommended setting).

    Spacer Cells

    Specifies when to add one row and one column of empty spacer cells around the generated table: Always, Never, or Auto (the recommended setting). Adding spacer cells is necessary with table layouts in which slice boundaries do not align, to prevent the table from breaking apart in some browsers.

    Generate CSS

    Controls the layout of slices using a Cascading Style Sheet, rather than an HTML table.

    Referenced

    Specifies how slice positions are referenced in the HTML file when using CSS:

    • By ID to position each slice using styles that are referenced by a unique ID.
    • Inline to include style elements in the declaration of the block element <DIV> tag.
    • By Class to position each slice using classes that are referenced by a unique ID.

    Default Slice Naming

    Choose elements from the pop-up menus or enter text into the boxes to be combined into the default names for all user slices. Elements include document name, the word slice, numbers or letters designating slices or rollover states, slice creation date, punctuation, or none.
