Yes this is what I was searching for in a
nutshell. I have been researching pros and cons of using an image created
for print as a web page. I am really striving towards revamping all our
brand sites to meet web standards and accessibility issues.
Biggest hurdle is working with the files I am sent
to build from and to try and make something similar in style
sheets.
Thanks to all who replied...

Subject: Re: [WSG] Sliced Image
Dilema
I think your question should be rephrazed a little
table
based sliced image html (as seen in david seaguls book Killer
Websites)
Vs
Webstandard 'Tableless' CSS design
table
based sliced image layout
pros
easy to produce
consistant layout
may even use images instead of text
(at the expense of accessibilty)
cons (too many to
list)
inaccessiable
large file
sizes (hence longer to download, greater cost of ownership
etc)
...
Webstandard 'Tableless' CSS
design
pros (too many to list)
seach
engines crawl the site and index information more
appropriately
greater file economy (elements can be
reused, many elements can be removed)
seperation of
style and content (makes managing the site really simple. Really, really
simple)
present the same page of mark up to various
devices (eg Desktops, handhelds, phones, PDA)
...
cons
older defunked browsers on anceint
machines display unformatted information (even this has its
advantages)
requires a little more attension in
production stages (this depend on who elaborate the design is)
