Exporting a table design to Dreamweaver with bordereffect

This is a discussion on Exporting a table design to Dreamweaver with bordereffect within the Macromedia Fireworks forums in Adobe Tools category; I am trying to create a fireworks background for export to Dreamweaver, one which has a simple border (1 pt. line), an address line at the bottom, and a glow effect. Is there a tutorial, or can some one provide simple instruction? Thanks http://www.pk-co.com/sample.html...

Default Exporting a table design to Dreamweaver with bordereffect

I am trying to create a fireworks background for export to Dreamweaver, one
which has a simple border (1 pt. line), an address line at the bottom, and a
glow effect. Is there a tutorial, or can some one provide simple instruction?
Thanks

Hey Paul,

I don't see a "glow" in your example link. As for the text you'd want to add
that in Dreamweaver or another suitable HTML editor. The line, assuming it's a
1px solid color line, is also something you could easily do in Dreamweaver.

You would never open up Fireworks for the express purpose of doing a "table
design". Fireworks is a graphics program, not an HTML authoring/editing
environment.

If you are looking to create what would become a background image to use in a
DIV or table cell, you'd create your artwork on the canvas first, then draw on
an export slice. You could then set your export options properties panel and
then right-click the green slice and choose "export selected slice".

Joey, thanks for your feedback...very clear, concise and much appreciated.

Can I assign art to a layer in Dreamweaver, lock it, and then on a top layer create a text box?

HTML doesn't have" text boxes" and the concept of layers in HTML is different
from that in a graphics application. There are ways to create the kind of
result I think you're going for, but you need to understand how that is done
with either a table-based layout or a CSS layout. Designing for the Web is not
like designing for print.

So...resources! Here's a book I like:

bs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1215305917&sr=8-1 (Visual Quickstart Guide) by
Elizabeth Castro
It covers everything in small chunks and is light enough to carry around and
read.

Some tutorials:

This one has a friendly tone, although it has lots of ads:
