Hello to all.

So here is my problem. I made a site template in Photoshop cs3, when I go to dreamweaver to add html and text, it will not allow for me to resize the template as 100%. Any idea what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks

Chris

What do you mean 'resize the template for 100%' -- what are you trying to resize, the photoshop image ?

Well what I am trying to do is make a 1200 pixel image a 100% html template.

What I did is I made a photoshop set of layers and images into a website template. I then opened it up in dreamweaver to add my css and such, yet I am having problems getting the page to be liquid?

What is happening is everytime I take the background image and make it smaller say 1024 or 800, it won't do it, it keeps going back to its original number.

So I am lost.

Are you going to show us a link? It is easier for us to help you if we see what you've done so far.

Sorry about that

Here are a couple. They are too big, so i am trying to get them to fit the screen.

Thanks so much for your advice.

Well, it fits onto my screen, but I can see how it would spill over on smaller screens. If you are trying to resize an image in Dreamweaver, then use it as a background, you won't be able to do it. Only images in <img> tags can be resized with HTML or CSS. Background images should be resized in Photoshop first. Since background images don't interrupt the document flow, they are often preferable to <img> tags.

Your layouts will be easier to manipulate, or make "liquid" if you learn to do div/css layouts instead of building your site with tables. Maybe you won't do it this time, but it is something to keep in mind for the future.

I see
Ok so I am pretty much needing to start all over? or is this a fix I can pay someone to do?

I'd say yes there. You CAN pay someone, many people here actually are people you can hire to do so. I suggest starting over, learning HTML and CSS and doing it without using a WYSIWYG editor. If you want images add the images, if you want a background add it too, but run your site through these: http://validator.w3.org/ and http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ and see why you shouldn't use WYSIWYG and should only work from source.

You also need to make sure that you use a proper DOCTYPE on your pages, whatever method you use. Obviously I'm with the rest, use CSS and get away from tables for layout.
