Note: Use caution when choosing None as a menu option for slice auto-naming. If you choose
None as the option for any of the first three menus, Fireworks exports slice files that overwrite one
another, resulting in a single exported graphic and a table that displays this graphic in every cell.
Defining how HTML tables are exported
Slicing defines how the HTML table structure appears when a Fireworks document is exported
for use on the web.
When you export a sliced Fireworks document to HTML, your document is reassembled using
an HTML table. Each sliced element from the Fireworks document resides in a table cell. Once
exported, a Fireworks slice translates to a table cell in HTML.
You can specify how a Fireworks table is reconstructed in a browser. Among other options, you
can choose whether to use spacers or nested tables when exporting to HTML:
•
Spacers are images that help table cells align properly when viewed in a browser.
•
A nested table is a table within a table. Nested tables do not use spacers. They may load more
slowly in browsers, but because there are no spacers, it is easier to edit their HTML.
For more information about HTML, see "Exporting HTML" on page 252.
