I have to update a side done in Adobe go live using slicing. I want to just go in and change the code. I don't use adobe go live. I just need to add more text the the page, but the sliced images create white space. Can some one tel me now where in the code I should be looking. Do I need to change the image size or just the table dimensions. Here is the test site, please let me know how to fix.


Thanks Becky

Well, the code looks awful. I didn't see so many rubbish in html for a long time already...

Unfortunately, you can't add more text, bacause it will tear the image of woman at right side to pieces! Actually, it already happened (if you don't see this it means that your default test size is very small). And there's nothing you can do here: current table layout won't let it.

In this situation the only logical suggestion is to do everything (well, except navigation bar) from the beginning.
Change tables layout, cut images to fewer number of slices, etc. The most important change is to make the height of right colomn with woman image independent from text area. But due to very bad code I don't see the possiblity to do it without major changes.

At least this is what I'd do...

 
I would change the frameset so that the image of the woman is in it's own frame; separate from the text. That way, you can add text without increasing the white space.

As for fixing the image, you can tinker around with the height and width settings, but if you have the original, un-sliced image I would just start over with that.

I don't know what you normally use as an image slicer, but PaintShop Pro 7.0 has a good utility for that.
