if you are using software you are defeating the point of CSS in the firstplace.

actually no metaman... sitegrinder does well with laying out a PSD into CSS format witht the click of a button. YOu can then alter it to specific needs.

What it does is eliminate a lot of initial time to set up a template.

I dont use it myself, but have heard great things about it and watched their videos on the product.

Its not an alternate solution, its a time saver.

YOU STUPID MOTHER FUCKER! no jk

the point of CSS is to compress a layout and use similar styles so it is easy to change a layout across the board.

i dont understand how a program is going to be able to do that.

not to mention properly tagging things for SEO.

i would never trust a program with my code. but i am amazing and i do not expect all of you to be like me.

SiteGrinder will do it and highly recommended by those who use it.

Well... it is what it is man...

It will take psd and spit out css. In under a minute you can do it. Seo can be mapped out after.

All the program does is give you an express layout. nothing more.

Like I said, I have only heard and looked at it. So I wont sell the farm over it but I would recommend it for such a subject.

I own a Sitegrinder license. It does do what it says, but does so in a way that no one actually coding a page properly would do.

It's messy to look at and deal with, in most cases the CSS validates, but it does work and has a pretty easy learning curve. They do a great online video walk-through to help get you up to speed.

I like it, but I wouldn't call it the best CSS output.

Or just :

http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/tag_map.asp

<img src="planets.gif" width="145" height="126" alt="Planets" usemap="#planetmap" />

<map name="planetmap">
<area shape="rect" coords="0,0,82,126" href="sun.htm" alt="Sun" />
<area shape="circle" coords="90,58,3" href="mercur.htm" alt="Mercury" />
<area shape="circle" coords="124,58,8" href="venus.htm" alt="Venus" />
</map>

That creates a 100% cross-browser web page without tables or CSS.

Id be embarrassed to use these softwares.. the code they spit out is junk.
