I use image slicing on some images to stop some amatures from nicking an image. Sure, it doesn't stop everyone, but it does slow them down. You can still have meaningful alt text as needed. On 16 Nov 2004 09:49:21 +1100, Andrew Thompson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I still use slicing to split a

I still use slicing to split a single image into JPEG and GIF sections. For example, in a people with product shot, the people work best as a JPEG whereas the product works best as a GIF. I know you're supposed to be able to create a CSS-based slice layout and Photoshop includes this option, bu

Hi, The only reason I can think of to slice images would be if the design calls for text wrapping around a curved image for whatever reason (though I haven't seen this done well and with clean markup). I too have been thinking about a good way to handle larger images and the other day I found t

Interesting question. Slicing an image was a necessary part of creating a table based design to ensure that the table cells aligned properly to preserve the design. Designers sometimes used image slicing to improve the perceived responsiveness of a site by providing some visual feedback that the

I haven't seen any discussions about slicing images, with regards to web standards. I expect slicing is discouraged, since it is table-based. What do you do if you want to use a fairly large image in a design? Best regards, Marilyn Langfeld http://www.langfeldesigns.com [EMAIL PROTECTED] +1.301.5

Keeping in mind that everyone has their own opinion on semantically correct markup, I'll give you my opinion. If they are reduced to their most basic level, navigation links are simply a list of links to other parts of the site. If we assume that some devices will see them without any css or othe

Chris, The tabs looks really nice but Tonico does have a point. If you strip out all css styles, the links will appear in one line with very little between them - making them hard to distinguish on older browsers, browsers that have css switched off or text-based browsers.. Could you convert that
