Hey this may seem like a dumb question, but I am curious on how you add content to an interface you may have created in PS for example. I am wondering what approaches you take?
Here are a couple ways I do it but I find there are limitations.
1. create a interface add the text in PS, slice interface and build a table insert slices in DW (or have one generated for me when exporting slices) However, I don't like adding text in PS because you have to edit the psd in order to update content. And there are limitations in adding "too much" content if it doesn't fit where you'd like.
2. create a template, slice it leaving large enough sections of slices where the content will be placed. I then put the interface image in the section that needs content over top and send it to the background in html. Then just type over it in an html editor. However I find this method frustrating at times because if you add too much content it extends your cell beyond the height/ or width of the sliced bg image and throws your table out of whack.
and in the end ruins your design. I also have run into problems with netscape using too many small slices too
3. Build an interface and just put next buttons to display the remaining text. However I find this looks sloppy and is a lot of extra work.
So there are a few approaches I take what do you do?
see ya
