HTML Text if you want to capture text and basic formatting characteristics from the text
object in Illustrator. To edit the text for HTML Text content slices, you must update the
text in your artwork.
Important:
To create a slice with HTML Text content, select a text object, and then choose
the Object > Slice > Make command. The HTML Text content type is not available if a slice
was created using another method. (See
“Creating slices” on page 293
.)
To set options for Image content slices:
In the Slice Options dialog box, do the following, and click OK:
•
Specify the slice name in the Name text box. By default, the slice name is used as the file
name when you save the Web page. (See
“Setting file saving options” on page 318
.)
•
Specify a URL to make the slice area a hotspot in the resulting Web page. You can enter
a relative URL, enter a full URL (including http://), or choose a previously created URL
from the pop-up menu.
•
If you specified a URL, specify the frame you want the link to target in the Target text
box. You can enter the name of a target frame, or choose a standard option from the
pop-up menu.
•
Specify text in the Message text box that will appear in the browser’s status area when
the mouse is positioned over an image.
•
Specify text in the Alt text box that will appear in place of image data in nongraphical
browser (and will be used by voice-recognition software).
•
Choose a color that will appear in the slice area of the resulting Web page from the
Background pop-up menu. Keep in mind that the selected color will not be displayed in
Illustrator.
To set options for No Image content slices
In the Slice Options dialog box, do the following, and click OK:
•
Specify text that will appear in the slice area of the resulting Web page in the Text
Displayed in Cell text box. You can format the text using standard HTML tags.
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. However, because you cannot view the text on the artboard, this will not be
apparent until you view the Web page in a Web browser.
•
Choose options from the Horiz and Vert pop-up menus to specify the horizontal and
vertical alignment of the text.
•
Choose a color that will appear in the slice area of the resulting Web page from the
Background pop-up menu. Keep in mind that the selected color will not be displayed in
Illustrator.
To set options for HTML Text content slices:
In the Slice Options dialog box, do the following, and click OK:
•
Choose options from the Horiz and Vert pop-up menus to specify the horizontal and
vertical alignment of the text.
