I guess it may depend on the program version you're using. On Photoshop 7.0 it's right next to the crop tool.

Is there any way that this part and the first part of the tutorial can be translated into GIMP because I'm not sure how to do the slicing part on GIMP.

If the navigation is part of your image, you'll need to use image maps. There are tutorials out there, but they'll basically tell you the same thing: either use ImageReady, or find some other way to do it. I'm not a fan of ImageReady, so I use a different method.

Go here: http://www.draac.com/imagemap/main1.html. They have a simple tutorial and have something that can help generate the coordinates for your image map. Hope that's helpful. If you need help, feel free to PM me.

I usually put the first part of the map code between the <head> </head> tags, and then usemap goes in the part of the code that puts the image in the layout [slice_01.jpg, etc].

If you want a link to open in a new window, you'll need to target it, like this:
<a href="http://url.com" target="_blank">text here</a>. Using target="_blank" will open the link in a new window. You'll need to target your links if you ever have an IFrame layout that uses two IFrames, also; for example, if you have one IFrame for navigation and one for your content, you'll need to target them to open in the content IFrame.

Hope that helps!

Hi,

Thanks for the great tutorial!
I've a question regarding the placement for the links, if I use the code provided I get a looks like this:
http://img157.imageshack.us/img157/450/bild2pm2.png
Without the link placement it looks fine

Any ideas why?

And how to get a background for the browser (which is white?) >-<

You might need to edit your CSS to get the links to look right, but I can't be sure without looking at your coding.

As far as the background color, that can easily be edited with CSS. Add this to your CSS:
body {background: #hex code here;}

That will change the background color from white to whatever color you input.

Thank you for your help!
Unfortunately I'm a real beginner XD so I don't know anything about CSS yet (I only followed the tutorial).
If someone could help me

...

==
This is the slice/code which should get replaced T___T because the navigation links should get on that particular slice.

<td colspan="3">
<img src="Bilder/index_07.jpg" width="455" height="34" alt=""></td>
==

The code without navigation is this one: Click!
Which is fine.

The code with the replaced code (from the tutorial is this one:
Click!

I think what you'll need is a second IFrame for your content. So, instead of
<img src="Bilder/index_07.jpg" width="455" height="34" alt="">
put
<iframe id=nav name=nav src="nav.html" frameborder=0 width=455 height=34></iframe>

You'll then need to make another page called nav.html with all your links in it.

What program do you use to make your designs? I know with Photoshop you can pick colors with the eyedropper, but I don't know about any other program. The colors you pick will have a six-digit hex code that defines them and can be used to style the font, links, background color, etc.

Thank you so much for your help

!
It worked out right now...

Hm, I use Photoshop and after that something called Taco (for Mac OS X).
And since it was my first time doing a website/layout I only blindly followed the tutorial ^^

Again, thanks so much for your kind help~
Here's a screenie to the layout I was able to do with your help ^^

Very cool layout!

If you want to change your font, its color, size, etc, that's what you'd use CSS for. If you need help with that, feel free to ask, I'd be glad to help.
