Dreamwevaer Help
I have created a website inside fireworks, exported the slices to dreamweaver, when i open the index page in dreamweaver, it shows the page as if the links are broken... i get a bunch of grey boxes with look like broken images...
i have taken a screen shot of my dreamweaver interface so you can get a better idea of what i am seeing you can click the link below to see what i am seeing....
any idaes?

Check the path on the images and see if they are pointing to the right files. Dreamweaver just can't find the files, that's all. I don't know why this would have happened from Fireworks though .
To do this, select the image and look at the path in the properties palette. Is that where the images are stored? Probably not - y9ou'll have to make some changes here.
In general, I don't think that using tools like Fireworks (or ImageReady) to generate HTML is the best way to go about doing things. They don't generate very good code and tend to encourage image-intensive designs (not a good idea!).

the paths might be set to site root instead or document or something, dunno if it makes any difference anyway but it sometimes happens to me too.

the images were .bmp's and dreamweaver was looking for other formats....
The problem was when i exported the slices....
thanks anyway guys!

Oh, okay! BMP isn't a great format to be using on the web. Use GIF, JPEG, or PNG instead (and look up what the difference is if you don't know).

:blush: When i made my first site, i wasn't aware of the fact i could vary the level of JPEG compression so i thought cos they always saved really grainy in JPEG, i'd use BMPs for my graphics, which resulted in title graphics weighing in at 500kb apiece
