Wouldn't it be great if fireworks and photoshop created css for the
layouts...

Chopping up psd's all the time myself I haven't got a really good answer for
you except to get the psd or png, if he's using fireworks and chop it
yourself. I normally cop templates multiple times to get specific elements
out of the template without all of the extra table cells I end up deleting
anyway. To make this even worse I then take the new exported html, deleted
all the stuff I don't want, make table cell background images out of those
pieces which should flow vertical or horizontal 100%, view in firefox,
re-save it again in another folder just so I can get the images I need for
that element. I repeat this process again and again till I have everything
from the original design and then start working it into my css.

Normally I'm talking about 3 or 4 horizontal sessions like this where I'm
saving pieces like headers, main body areas and footers. Then another bunch
of sessions where your cutting more with the vertical rulers and snagging
those items like the right, center, left columns of a page.

I can't say it's a fun process but I end up with about 1/3 third of the
images of the original template and everything looks like it should. i then
use those elements where I need them and move on to actually coding the
site...

Good luck man, find a better way and i'm down~

Find a way to chop gradients efficiently and your my hero!
