Slicing an image to be used as a nav bar for html email

The html email that I've created renders as designed in most email clients. It doesn't in Outlook 2007. It was suggested that I slice an image for the nav bar so it displays horizontally as designed instead of vertically.
It's been a long time since I used slicing images in Photoshop. It doesn't appear that Image Ready is there anymore. I use Photoshop CS3. Is there a straightforward document that could walk me through the steps to accomplish this? Using the Photoshop "help" confuses the heck out of me and when I asked this question in the Photoshop forum, many looked at it but I've had no responses. Or could it be done in Dreamweaver somehow?
The web version of the html email is: http://www.theshimogaproject.com/email/riverrun-guests-email.html

You can't use DW to slice an image. Do you have Fireworks? It's really easy to do it in Fireworks, that's what I would use. If you need to use PhotoShop, a quick Google search, "slicing images in photoshop," return plenty of tutorials that you can choose from.

Slicing an image to be used in Dreamweaver html

It's been a long time since I used slicing images in Photoshop. It doesn't appear that Image Ready is there anymore. I use Photoshop CS3. I want to create a nav bar for an html email that will render correctly in Outlook 2007. It has been suggested that a sliced image could accomplish that. Is there a straightforward document that could walk me through the steps to accomplish this? Using the Photoshop "help" confuses the heck out of me.

I'm honestly not sure what you are trying to do. The page as such could be perfectly taken and sent "as is". It doesn't seem to contain any of the usual problematic items that make MS' HTML rendering engine go whacko. In addition, it is so simple, you could convert a screenshot to a GIF and it would stil look okay. That aside, simply look up the knife tool and Save for Web and Devices in the help files when dealing with web content.

I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu

I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu.
I have tried to select one of the suggestions that google give me for my search but FF it wont let me. I have type everything out in full. I hate FF4 it is rubbish. I loved firefox before this one came out but now I am seriously thinking of going over to google chrome.

Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).
I shall learn to live with Yahoo (or worse case scenario, Bing!)

I am using Microsoft OUtlook Web Access for work email and I am losing functionality. What do I do?

I use Microsoft Outlook Web Access for work emails when not at the office4 and I cannot/do not have any options to enlarge text or change fonts, etc. What do I need to do to make it work as if IE were my default browser?
Thanks.

Outlook Web App (new name) on Exchange Server 2010 should be quite full featured. The Outlook Web Access supplied with Exchange 2003 didn't offer a very good experience for browsers other than IE...
Could you describe where the problem with fonts is: when composing messages, or when reading/working with the UI?

I used to have separate tabs for each email address, now I only have one and have to toggle between them, how can I correct this?

Each of my email accounts was on a separate tab, so I could view them all together, somehow I managed to change the layout so that now i have to use "Go", "Folder" etc. I'd like the old layout back but can't find any way of changing it in the menu.

I do not know about separate tabs. Maybe you are talking about the Folder Pane down the left margin of the main window.
From the menu bar select View-Layout-Folder Pane

I use NOTES a lot but for different email accs. How can I sync all to my Cloud?

I have 4 mail accounts, for my work but I now would like them all together in one place (it's become WAY too complicated)
I cannot risk losing any
Thanks much
(PS. just upgrade to the 6 and don't want to lose anything in the phone transition either!)

If you have purchases on your iPod Shuffle that you want to sync back to iTunes, but are under the Apple ID you no longer have access to, you'll need to reset that account information. You can use this link to reset your password.
https://iforgot.apple.com/
If that doesn' work or help, you'll need to contact iTunes support and have them walk you through the process of resetting the older account information. Once you know the email and password again, you can authorize your new computer and transfer any purchases from this account back to iTunes.
For all non-iTunes purchased content, you'll need to the assistance of some sort of third party software that is not supported by Apple. See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

Should you use only one smtp address for all email accounts?

My iPhone and iPad will not send mail from either of two email accounts. Ive checked the smtp settings and passwords several times. I have several email accounts with different providers/servers though, so should there only be one server chosen for all? Cant figure out why my email won't send! Anyone know an answer?

No. Each mail provider has its own SMTP server. And you won't be able to send email from one provider's email account through another provider's smtp server.
Each account should have its provider's SMTP server set as its Primary Server. And The rest of the smtp servers should be turned off for that particular account.

HTML Emails and background images in Dreamweaver

Hello. I created a HTML email in Dreamweaver. The original design came out of Indesign and had very specific background art. I removed all the text out of the Indesign and created a jpg. I took this jpg in Photoship and sliced and optimized it. I imported this HTML into Dreamweaver. Here I need to add in all the text (which is variable). I was originally thinking that you can only place background images with CSS. But I was told that you should not use CSS for HTML emails. So instead I left all the background art as normal images inside of a table. At this point I need to add text over these images. They only way I could figure out to do it was to add a div tag right over the image and type into there. This seemed to work fine but when I tested it in some emails all the div tags with text showed up under the table with images. This needed to display over. What is the best way to handle this issue? Thank you in advance.
Melanie

Sorry, but you cannot layer text over images in emails. Simplify your design or make an image with text on it in Photoshop. Use absolute URLs to images on your web server. And give people who can't see graphics and HTML pages in their email client a link to the HTML page on your web server.

Help with Nav Bar using Action Script 3

I am a flash NOOB to say the least. Trying to teach myself. Thank God for YouTube! LOL! Anyway, I have build a Nav Bar for a site that has a sliding bar on the bottom of it that follows the mouse. The problem with this nav bar is that when you change pages inside the site, the slider resets back to position X/Y = 0 and you really don't know what page you are on for sure without me having to identify each page in the page body itself.
Does anyone know of a way using action script to have the URL of the page sent to flash and in turn use that URL to set the X and Y position of the slider to the appropriate X and Y of the button on the Nav Bar for the page the user is on?
I have heard of using flash.external.ExternalInterface but now for sure how this really works nor if I can assign it to a variable for reference inside the action script.
Any help would be appreciated greatly!!

The Flash Nav Bar is at the top of each page. But yes, when you click a button inside the flash nav bar it takes you away from your current page and loads a new one. I am trying to tell the swf file which page it is on so I can set the X and Y position of the slider.
You will have to excuse me if I am so noob that I loose any of your replies to this as just as Flash is new to me, so is the lingo.
Thank you for your help. I will research FlashVar but if you have any other ideas then I am open to them.

I Myicrosoft Office Web Access for my email. However, it automatically uses the "light" version. Is there any way round this?

I use Microsoft office web access for my email. However it automatically used the light version which doesn't come with all the features. Is there any way around this?

No. The "heavy" version requires using ActiveX controls and Windows services. No way to run those on an iPad.

Tiling or slicing large images in tables? Completely outdated?

I'm working through the XHTML tutorials on Lynda.com
The instructor does a demo of slicing a large image with sections that have animated .gifs. He slices the static portions and slices the animated portions and then combines them in a 3 slice x 3 slice table.
He says "I still prefer to do this with tables, since it's what it was designed for."
I know tables are outdated, but I'm not sure if it's in all respects. Like if I was going to do a data table, I certainly would use tables...
Im not sure when this video was made, but is it still in practice and a good practice?
He then shows a similar demo of how to combine slices using CSS. Is this outdated too? Are people still slicing large images?

Unlike print design where everything is static and unchanging, web pages need to be flexible and web accessible to accommodate all users, displays and devices.
Image slices have their plusses and minuses. Occasionally, you may need them to create a flexible container that resizes to content.
     3 image slices in a CSS layout ~
     http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/Image-slices-in-a-CSS-based-layout.shtml
That said, you can add visual interest to web pages without a lot of images using CSS.
     2-image web page design ~
     http://alt-web.com/TEMPLATES/2-image-web-design.shtml
Finally, have a look at CSS Zen Garden where the power of CSS is demonstrated.
Each page contains identical HTML markup but with wildly different styles.
Hopefully this will inspire you to move away from tables and use CSS for primary layouts.

How to obtain date of creation if image is obtained using getImage()

When Image is obtained using getImage() method , how to
obtain date of creation or another header value if image is
obtained using getImage method.

Actually, some formats do indeed have creation or modification dates built in. e.g. http://www.w3.org/TR/PNG-Chunks.html#C.tIME. (Of course since most programs save a new copy of the file every time, the two dates are the same.) However, just because formats have this data doesn't mean it's reliable or even present. Your best bet is to pass creation dates in an Applet param tag for applets (assuming you were referring to Applet.getImage()) or to parse out a filename from a classloader URL and use a File object to check (assuming you were instead referring to Toolkit.getImage(URL)). That's the best answer I have without knowing more about what you are trying to accomplish.

I use an external hard drive for my Lightroom library and I notice that all the images shown on there are DNG. On my MAC hard drive I have images shown as NEF. I desperately need to free up space on my hard drive, can I safely delete these NEFs?

heidie22, dj_paige has a very good point there. I would not through away the NEF files; I would archive them to a external drive.
By the way, I am assuming that converting RAW files to DNG is a decision you have made and not an accident.
