Specify Browser Messages And Alt Text; Add Html Text To A Slice - Adobe Photoshop CS6 User Manual

2. In the Slice Options dialog box, enter a URL in the URL text box. You can enter a relative URL or absolute (full) URL. If you enter an
absolute URL, be sure to include the proper protocol (for example, http://www.adobe.com, not www.adobe.com). For more information on
using relative and full URLs, see an HTML reference.
3. If desired, enter the name of a target frame in the Target text box:
_blank Displays the linked file in a new window, leaving the original browser window open.
_self Displays the linked file in the same frame as the original file.
_parent Displays the linked file in its own original parent frameset. Use this option if the HTML document contains frames and the current
frame is a child. The linked file appears in the current parent frame.
_top Replaces the entire browser window with the linked file, removing all current frames. The name must match a frame name previously
defined in the HTML file for the document. When a user clicks the link, the specified file appears in the new frame.
Note: For more information on frames, see an HTML reference.

Specify browser messages and Alt text

You can specify what messages appear in the browser. These options are available only for Image slices and appear only in exported HTML files.
1. Select a slice. If you are working in Photoshop, double-click the slice with the Slice Select tool to display the Slice Options dialog box.
2. In the Slice Options dialog box, type the desired text.
Message Text Changes the default message in the browser's status area for a selected slice or slices. By default, the slice's URL, if any, is
displayed.
Alt Tag/Alt Specifies an Alt tag for a selected slice or slices. The Alt text appears in place of the slice image in nongraphical browsers. It
also appears in place of the image while the image is downloading and as a tool tip in some browsers.

Add HTML text to a slice

When you choose a slice of type No Image, you can enter text to be displayed in the slice area of the resulting web page. This can be plain text or
text formatted with standard HTML tags. You can also select vertical and horizontal alignment options. For more information on specific HTML
tags, see an HTML reference.
Photoshop does not display HTML text in the document window; you must use a web browser to preview the text. Be sure to preview HTML text in
different browsers, with different browser settings, and on different operating systems to confirm that your text is displayed correctly on the web.
Note: The amount of text in a No Image slice can affect the layout of an exported page.
1. Select a slice. Double-click the slice with the Slice Select tool to display the Slice Options dialog box. You can double-click the slice in the
Save For Web & Devices dialog box to set additional formatting options.
2. In the Slice Options dialog box, select No Image from the Slice Type menu.
3. Type the desired text in the text box.
4. (Save For Web & Devices dialog box only) If the text includes HTML formatting tags, select the Text Is HTML option. If you don't select this
option, HTML tags are ignored and all text appears as unformatted plain text on the resulting web page.
5. (Save For Web & Devices dialog box only) If desired, select options in the Cell Alignment section of the dialog box:
Default Uses the browser's default for horizontal alignment.
Left Aligns the text to the left side of the slice area.
Center Aligns the text to the center of the slice area.
Right Aligns the text to the right side of the slice area.
Default Uses the browser's default for vertical alignment.
Top Aligns the text to the top of the slice area.
Baseline Sets a common baseline for the first line of text in cells in the same row (of the resulting HTML table). Each cell in the row must
use the Baseline option.
Middle Centers the text vertically in the slice area.
Bottom Aligns the text to the bottom of the slice area.
