[Andrew S.]

I am having a problem with a sliced image it appears fine in IE but looks
like a checker board in Netscape.

Thanks in advance

Why do you need to slice an image in the first place?

 

[Mary S.]

I thought slicing an image helped lessen download time.

I thought slicing an image helped lessen download time.

You need more markup to put it back together.
You need more http requests to get it in the first place.
Compression is less efficient (I think)

So no, it increases download time.

(1) You didn't answer his question :~(

(2) He did it because it looks cool :~)

I copied and pasted his markup and it looks effective in IE6, although it's
a lot of work for what he has achieved :~(

No, it increases it. An HTTP request (and usually a new connection) has
to be made for every slice instead of once for the whole image.

This isn't his 24/7 help desk. That's down the hall to your right, and
have your credit card ready.

He did it because it looks cool :~)

And increases load time for no reason.

How do you know?

No it isn't. Its a lot of work[1] for nothing.

[Andrew S.]

The image was already sliced I'm just trying to get it together so it look
ok in Netscape it's working fine in IE but there is a white space line
between the top and bottom part of the graphic in Netscape.

I have had this problem before with Netscape and thought someone here might
be able to give me some advise on how to alleviate the line between the
individual pictures.

Also what would I need to do to not have to place then all in a row to stop
the white lines between each picture?

Thanks in advance

The thing is your *Target Audience* won't be Netscape users, so don't worry
about it.

They'll all be using Internet Explorer browsers. <grin>

 

[Andrew S.]

I know.
But this has happened to me before and am just trying to find a way to not
have this happen for my own future reference.
I can usually work something out with time but have spent the whole day just
screwing around experimenting trying to fit it and getting nowhere but
frustrated.

Thanks in advance

I had the same problem a while back - the image was delivered in slices -
and I'm hopeless with graphical thingies. Some kind soul - from this group
I think - glued it back together for me.

If you can - make it one image. If you can't - get out your begging bowl.
There are some that perform such tasks in exchange for money and/or sexual
favours.

Easy enough, just do a screen-capture from an IE browser and paste into
'Photoshop' as one image. :~)

 

[Andrew S.]

The graphic was sliced I guess because it was used as a navigation bar when
I got it.
Had to scrounge around (know one that I can ask is around for the holidays
till after the 1st) to get a blank piece that is why the picture doesn't
show quite right in the first place.
I guess I am just stubborn and am not going to let this $%^&*+ picture
defeat me. I really just want to figure out why it was doing this. Yep I
guess I could have just reassembled it in less then 1 quarter of the time
that it ha s taken me not to get it figured out.

Still looking for a solution to the problem no matter what it takes.

Thanks in advance

/bangs head

Make it ONE image - for the sake of your visitors if for no other reason.


Please don't top-post. Look it up in your favourite search engine to find
out why.

Which version of NS? Some earlier ones may sllice and dice.
Looks fine in IE and Mozilla.

Suggestion, instead of slicing, use an image map.
No need to slice unless you want to make it difficult for art thieves, which
doesn't stop a good thief.

Why not put it back together with your image editor?
