Whole layout in Photoshop or....

For the validating part, I use Visual Studio 2005 now which produces very standards compliant code. All the html and css that I write myself I try to keep as standards compatible as possible, but again here Visual Studio helps out a great deal by marking everything that's not standards compliant. Great stuff!

Just remember that VS.Net 2K5 works at XHTML 1.0 and not XHTML 1.1

For VS.Net 2003 the code is not XHTML compliant and is not very standards compliant. However, it is possible to write a custom base page to modify the final rendering to create compliant code.

Why? I can do so much more with a table than a div.

But if you're using tables for layout rather than tabular (spreadsheet type information, charts, etc) data, then you aren't using HTML correctly. Just because it works doesn't mean it was meant to be that way.

Besides, if you can do it with a table, the better CSS layout designers can do it with a div!

Its not incorrect usage when using tables that bugs me, its the fact that If i resize any <td> or <td> in a table, all the others change, even the ones in tables that have no beraing on the table in which I made the change

Hi buddy

What i feel is, in my experience i design everything in photoshop. Before you start designing just think whether you will be able to slice the site in photoshop. Don't design a site as your wish, think twice or thrice and start the layout. I feel better if you do with photoshop

I used to like using tables to lay stuff out, it's not like there was much choice once.

Is there an easy way to make a 'fluid' xhtml/css layout in Photoshop, so the site fits the browser size? For example, like this one where I did the graphics in PS but coded by hand. I'd like to go straight from PS without too much work if this is possible.

Photoshop has a save for the Web option, however, it will currently only save in table format giving dimensions in pixels according to the image. I'm hoping they have worked on this for CS3 but I'm not holding my breath.

Personally I think you'll need to hand code and to be honest I think you should since you'll be able to structure the code better. For example, you coulde put the center column first in three column layout letting the search engines see it earlier as well as having it display first on PDA's or other browsers.

I haven't tested under CS2.
Any improvements since Photoshop 7.0.1?
