Okay I have to say this: Am I the ONLY person who thinks slicing a PSD and going to HTML is a BAD IDEA? I think this method leads to ALOT of the common problems that people encounter, esp cross browser issues.

I must lay out my thoughts on this, sorry if you do not agree.

I simply DO NOT use slicing and I haven't in years. Why? Because I for one feel its a unnecessary step that you can easily skip. 2. Letting programs like photoshop create the code for you is a bad idea, though many do this. 3. There are better ways to do this.

What do I do thats so different?
I design a site, I then start coding a html/css structure from scratch for that design, only pulling images from the design where they are needed. Doing this plus using the rulers and the tape measure in photoshop is key. I'm not afraid to say that my method or workflow simply works and I'm also safe to say that 90% of the code I create works flawlessly across browsers without any odd quirks. Now I'm not going to not say that I haven't had problems or things not work before, because I have; however not as much as the fellow devs I know who insist on slicing.

WYSIWYG
This also goes hand in hand with my same debates on why I dislike WYSIWYG editors and why I feel they are just creating bad developers. Why? Because using a WYSIWYG editor; say dreamweaver only is going to output sub-par code, most of which is heavily crap and won't validate, not to mention they are ALWAYS behind on standards.

I think this is enough for now, I could surely keep going but this is just a quick rant/opinion for you.
