Converting a Template into (tableless) CSS

    Hello, does anyone know how i can slice and export a template into html with css with no tables?

    I know how to do this in Fireworks but i dont like tables anymore.
    All the tutorials that i found on how to export Photoshop psd to css require that i do some additional handcoding (inputting the css myself) after i have sliced and exported the template in Photoshop.

    Isnt there a way to do it in 3 easy steps?

    1) Create PSD template
    2) Slice template
    3) Export template
    And the result would be a table-less html page with css.


    Tutorial links and comments will be appreciated.

    Thanks

    sorry to say, I think you have your design process reversed. FIRST code semantic clean HTML, THEN create your layout in CSS, and only THEN boot up your goofy paint program to make graphics to hang on the layout.

    Even when working from a PSD from a designer, rather than 'slice' the graphic and try to shoehorn it into html, you are better off making your valid semantic minimalist HTML FIRST - THEN use CSS to make the layout match, and only THEN do you extract the needed graphics from the PSD (hoping that it's layered so you can pull the elements without remastering) to hang them on the code.

    yeah, true. the only solution is:

    1.) learn css and code for yourself. (more problematic if you're a beginner)
    2.) find someone to code for you for free (if you're lucky enough)
    3.) post it here and pay someone to do it (best way but you need to spend money).
