Ok Monte,
I set up a brand new file, and then added some slices. To one of the slices I
added a link to
http://google.com. I Then exported it as HTML & Images, and
then looked over the code it produced and found that my link to Google was
indeed still there.
I then changed the export option to CSS Layers, and checked the code again.
The HREF to google was completely gone. Is it a bug, or some kind of oversight
on Adobe's part? I have no idea quite frankly, but who cares either way? The
code that it does produces doesn't even include a doctype in the header, but
does include interesting little tidbits like "<!-- saved from
url=(0014)about
:internet -->" and "<meta name="description" content="FW MX CSS
Layer">". This would lead me to believe that the code was prepared in a manner
for uses other than PRODUCTION CODE.
Everyone here knows you miss Imageready and find Fireworks an unacceptable
replacement. I feel bad for you, as it would completely destroy how I work if I
had to switch to something other than my preferred platform. However what
myself and some others are trying to point out, is that you're completely
missing the point how how Fireworks fits into a web design workflow.
If you have any specific questions about Fireworks I promise that I'll do
everything I can to you, as will a lot of others here too. But as far as I
can tell, there's no remedy to the issue you're having. I suggest you file a
bug report with Adobe, or bring it to the attention of their support department.
