Hi Jeremy and all,
I just downloaded fireworks and I absolutely love it. I feel that its a lot faster than photoshop and less confusing. I am still trying to find my way around the software and need some help from the expart. I was trying to experiment the slicing options to achieve the following goals:

>Improt all the divs including the any nested divs needed in DW CS3 from FW CS3
>Generate all the CSS rules from FW and use it in dream weaver

So far, I was able to get a AP div layout when I exported as CSS layers. However, the i was not able to get any text in it with css rules defined.

Can someone please suggest me (or point me to the right direction) how to propoerly slice and export the FW documents to get the required CSS rules.

Also, what is impact of using AP div on SEO?

Thanks for your help.
Claudia

Hi Claudia - glad to hear you're liking Fireworks. Have you checked out Lynda.com or the FireWorks help file yet? I think both will give you the answer you're looking for. Somebody in the forum may be able to answer it, but no need to reinvent the wheel ;)

Some FW resources

I used to use FW but I don't anymore. In the late 90s I created a very artistic site, it was a series of overlapping circles the content of which changed using javascript rollovers, using nothing but FW. Unfortunately, due to the lack of people using broadband back then, the site was too slow to download to be practical.

Anyway, here's some FW resources which should, hopefully, help with your problem:

I think I opened FW once and i own the master collection of CS3. I've used Corel Draw for a few years, then got convinced that Photoshop/Illustrator was better. I'm very proficient in both now. What is the big deal with the advantages of FW? I guess you can code and create graphics at the same time? Maybe I should just click on the program and explore LOL.
