Is there a way to do that without having to "stitch" the images together in Site Spinner?
When I try to do that, I get the code, but no images and I'm unsure as to how to create slices that might work.
Would appreciate any/all help.

I'm not exactly sure what "slices" are but...

If Photoshop is producing html, but the image (slices) are not there, chances are you are not looking in the right place.

Code that references images expects the images to be in a certain folder, often the root folder or one called images -- this last one not to be confused with the "image" folder that SiteSpinner produces.

So to preview in SiteSpinner, this is what I would (attempt to!) do:
  • Place the code on your SS page as a code object
  • Place the images in your SS preview folder, in a sub-folder like "\images" if required.
  • If Photoshop provides any instructions, study those Wink

    I think slices are what Photoshop and Dreamweaver produce in order to reduce a large image into several smaller image "sections" or "slices" so they can be loaded asynchronously rather than a single large image, which results in faster page loading.

    If this is correct, and if Photoshop/Dreamweaver use an HTML <img> tag to load and position the images, then you should be able to copy and paste this code into SiteSpinner code objects. This assumes the "code" provides CSS to "stitch" the slices into a single image.

    If Photoshop/Dreamweaver use separate CSS code to do the stitching, then you will also need to copy & paste the CSS code into a code object using the "in CSS" code placement (if you are using SSPro) or in the page's custom header (if using SS or SSPro).
