284 CHAPTER 10 Designing Web Pages • W to specify the width of the slice. • H to specify the height of the slice. • Constrain Proportions to preserve the current proportions of the slice. 3 (Photoshop) Click OK. Specifying browser messages You can specify what messages appear in the browser using the Message and Alt options. These options are only available for Image slices. Message Lets you change the default message in the browser's status area for a selected slice or slices. By default the slice's URL is displayed. Alt Lets you specify an Alt tag for a selected slice or slices. The Alt text appears in place of the slice image in nongraphical browsers. It also appears in place of the image while the image is downloading and as a tool tip in some browsers. In ImageReady, if the Message and Alt options aren't showing, choose Show Options from the Slice palette menu, or click the Show Options button ( ) on the palette tab to view them. To specify a browser message: 1 Select a slice. If you are working in Photoshop, double-click the slice with the slice select tool to display the Slice Options dialog box. 2 In the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop) or the Slice palette (ImageReady), type the desired text in the Message text box, Alt text box, or both. 3 (Photoshop) Click OK. Adding HTML text to a slice Choosing the No Image type for a slice lets you enter text that will appear in the slice area of the resulting Web page. This text is HTML text- you can format it using standard HTML tags. You can also select vertical and horizontal alignment options. For more information on specific HTML tags, see an HTML reference (either printed or on the Web). Photoshop and ImageReady do not display HTML text in the document window; you must use a Web browser to preview the text. (See "Previewing an image in a browser" on page 84.) Keep in mind that the appearance of text is affected by the browser settings and operating system it is viewed on. Be sure to preview HTML text in different browsers, with different browser setting, and on different operating systems to see how text will appear on the Web. Note: Be careful not to enter more text than can be displayed in the slice area. If you enter too much text, it will extend into neighboring slices and affect the layout of your Web page. To add HTML text to a slice: 1 Select a slice. If you are working in Photoshop, double-click the slice with the slice select tool to display the Slice Options dialog box. 2 In the Slice Options dialog box (Photoshop) or the Slice palette (ImageReady), select No Image from the Type pop-up menu. 3 Type the desired text in the provided text box. You can use standard HTML tags to format the text.
