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.
