Hi! I hope you will help me. I've created a layout for my website in Photoshop. I know the only way to convert it into HTML code - to slice it and then it all will be in tables. Is there any other way to do it so I can avoid tables in my code and use pure CSS? The picture in PSD is quite busy with a lot of small elements so I can't just cut out boxes or cornes etc...

You'll need to do it by hand using div's and CSS.

There are tonnes of resources out there to help you with this, but a good place to start is: http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/Web-Style-S...ayout-with-CSS/

Of course you can, tables are for tabulated data not layout.

Using tables is a very very bad idea. At first when you complete a layout with tables you may think "wow that was fast". However when the time comes to change anything in your design you may waste lots of time.
