[thelist] Re: image slicing - not for the timid

[Boerner, Brian J]

I'd disagree about the image being "beautiful" - maybe for print but since
you'll have to code this I was wondering what is so "beautiful" about it??

It was my first impression that the designer doesn't fully understand web
development and has inadvertantly made it a PIA for you.

What you will probably need to do is to make the stripes on the top and side
out of <td>s. Using 1px transparent gifs to hold open the <td> which then
have background colors set to match the rest of the design. There are lots
of hurdles along the way to getting this to work but it can definitely be
done.

You may want to think about ditching those shadows, though someone with a
robust knowledge of CSS positioning could probably help you out there.
