First off i have no experience in webdesign at all.
in photoshop ive created two images that will make a nicely designed table to put on my site,top image i have nice fonts that read bookmark us and bottom image is exactly like the top image but it is upside down. My question is how would i make the spacer image (background) that will connect the images together so i will have a complete table that i can put pictures in the table so i can showcase the photos.Basicly i want a table with rounded corners that i can use for photos. Sorry if my words do not come out like i want them too!very confusing? thanx a bunch Swack |

Re: Expanding table backgrounds
Round tables with corners, u need to make a 3 by 3 table (3 rows by 3 columns) then fill in the table with the colour u want it, adding the table corners to each corner
You will also need to align the images as they can move around when data is added. |

Re: Expanding table backgrounds
Thanx for the help sypher,i will try this way and see how it comes out.
I still would like to learn how to make that spacer image because a script will be inserting the photos for me and the table needs to be able to expand. Here is the table im talking about,when photos are inserted by script the table needs to expand. these are actually two images i need to figure out how to make the spacer .gif that i can use for its background that goes between these two images.thanx Swack ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by swack; Nov 8th, 2005 at 01:52. |

Re: Expanding table backgrounds
If you do it right the table will automatically expand to the size of the image.

Re: Expanding table backgrounds
What you need to do is slice the image up so cut the corners, sides (upto where the shading is) on all sides, the middle is just blank colour, only the sides can not be accomplished with flat colour.
Then make the 3 by 3 table as i said before, making the sides top and bottom of the table a background image of the actual sides you have cut up, then attaching the corners as said previously |

Re: Expanding table backgrounds
ok thanx for advice,would be a little easier that way.
I read in the photoshop tutorial about this and it said i had to make slices of the image and then turn it in to a table but still havent figured it out yet. I guess im just stubbern minded and want to do it the way photoshop says.I guess the way you all explained it would be the easier way of doing it so i will do it your way.But im not going to let it whip me! Thank-you everyone for sharing your wonderful knowlegde! Stay Safe Swack |
