How do I create an HTML banner using "fireworks"?

[Maruf]

Dear IT specialists,

I need to make an HTML banner for "banner exchange" programme. This way I'll be able to get more members for my forum. But the problem is I don't know how to make an HTML banner. I use "firworks" to make banners, button etc. Could you please give me the step by step process to make an HTML banner? Thank you for your help.

Hi Maruf,

Sorry noone got back to you and I had been to obusy to join the forum.

Now I can't really give you a straight answer, because I don't work with fireworks. Anyways, I would suggest that get your banner image ready. In dreamweaver make a table exactly the same width and height as the image. Use the image as background and put your texts inside the rows and columns of the table where appropiate. This is probably the simplest way. With the fireworks, I would guess that you will have to select a few hot spots, then link the hot spots and export as html. Not sure, but this is how it ought to work.

At any rate, you will have to convince your link partners to place the html code of the entire table with the image linked to your server path on their web pages.

Dear Quantum,

Thank you very much for the reply. I'll try to do it the way you have suggested.

I have a request to make. Could you please visit my forum and give a feedback? I am interested in your opinion on two things:

1. Colour scheme

2. Forum layout.

The address is as follows:

Some people like the coulour scheme and the layout but some don't. I am a bit confused. Your help will be appreciated. Thank you.

Let us know how it turns out and if we could be of any more help.

For opinions on your forum, I think it would be best if you make a new topic in the Web design review forum. In that way everyone will be able to perticipate. I will be the first to review. :)
